If things like lack of proper haircuts, headgear, uniform, and military bearing drive you the bad kind of crazy, you probably won't get past the pilot. The Fox TV Network sitcom "Enlisted" debuts this Fri, Jan. Mike Test: "If you're not laughing with us, you're laughing against us." That's when I realized that, when less than 1 percent of a society's population serves in the military, the whole thing regarding the difference between "laughing with" and "laughing at" takes on orders of magnitude.Įnter the Sgt.

Many of my Army buddies and Facebook friends, however, took it personally. Last summer, I had a similar experience when I posted via social media the official teaser to the TV series "Enlisted." I'd been hungry for a new ration of military comedy, and I thought it looked promising. "It made us all look like a bunch of fools." I figured "Three Kings" was right up his A-frame. Mike had been in Iraq, after he'd enlisted into the active-duty Army. Set during the Gulf War, it's an eclectic mix between a war and bank heist movie-sort of an updated "Kelly's Heroes" (1970).
#ENLISTED REVIEW MOVIE#
Mike his opinion of "Three Kings" (1999), a favorite movie of mine. The team also liked to listen to NASCAR races on the radio, and to call up absent team members to play "what's that smell?" A good sense of humor will get you through a lot a shared appreciation of absurdity will get you through even more. We had a crusty section sergeant who had come up through the field artillery, who made us watch "MASH" (1970) as an annual training film. Back before the wars-it was the 1990s-I was part of a great team of Army communications soldiers working in an Iowa National Guard engineer unit.
