They were at permanent party assignment WHY


Did they act and were treated like they were in basic training? I'm retired military and I just don't get that.

and still whining -- i get that - at the time - they were literally on the opposite side of the world in terms of world events. I presume that would play into some of the male behavior - although it --- EUROPE - IS NOT AT ALL mentioned. Yes - USA wasnt in it - but we were watching France etc fold.

Still seems a lame version of "Desperate Housewives of Pearl Harbor" - trying to catch WHY i am supposed to care about any of these characters. None of these characters are remotely interesting. Bla bla piss moan whine - do not care.

House: I have been on a date before.
Wilson: Not since disco died.
