I've seen jag before and it was funny, unreal and very proamerican. But the last episode I saw, at least half of it (couldn't watch anymore) was as disappointing as well as stupid, inaccurate and totally offensive. The story of this episode (I can't remember the title/number) was about a pilot, that shot an armored car, because he thought that the Serbs were in it. It had a flag on it and wasn't shooting at anyone ;>
Well let me tell you why is this very wrong: Even though I'm not a Serb (I'm Slovenian) and I know very well about mass murders or genocide that happened in the 90-is, it is very clear that: 1. Russian and Yugoslavian flag do have the same colours but NOT the same flag. Comm'on, don't you remember the red star? in the MIDDLE of the flag?? 2. Killing someone just because he's of a certain nationality is wrong, even if, at the time, he's involved in a large scale war. Yeah, than the character stated that he had to kill them, because they were probably headed to make another mass burial site. Aham... like only the Serbs did that. Wake up! There was no good/evil here! Just too much propaganda, just like in USA and Cuba nowadays...
I don't get it - I know that "history is written by winners" but here was nothing to win. The real truth about the wars aggressors will show: a) when enough time passes, so most people involved in it will be dead and b) that "evildoers" weren't only the Serbs but all nations that were part of that big old Yugoslavia.
