OK, so you can make this stuff up

We have received DVDs for the show "Combat Hospital." As in most things, I am not going to ask how. I have watched the first 5 episodes. I fear that I will cause the world to implode as I am in Kandahar Afghanistan, watching a show about the Role 3 hospital in Kandahar Afghanistan. And it's not bad, it's no "TRAUMA" (inside joke)  but the re-creation of the Boardwalk is uncanny. They have all of the FOB names correct and the essentials down pretty well. But they are Canadian, after all. The medicine, well...but it's TV and we know how that goes. It takes place a couple of years ago and they are in the old Role 3 when it was still in a tent. I get to go to the new hard building, but we are giving it to people that have seen the old Role 3 so we are getting an accuracy check.
Being Afghanistan, the discs have scratches in them so I have no idea how the episodes end, or I have seen the end but not sure what the hell they're talking about. Oh well. Entertainment is entertainment.
I wonder if they are going to need a new technical advisor around say........February 2012.
