SPR just had such a DISPOSABLE storyline that I couldn't get into. I mean blah blah blah war is bad, we've heard it ALLLL before. At least IN SPR we get some REAL roles -

We got a glory hungry Corporals, Sergeants who refuse to risk the lives of his men needlessly, jokers who are the first to "go", and your assorted band of men who OBVIOUSLY get scarred by the war.

To me SPR was just a fun, violent romp through WWII with a quirky storyline about saving some guy who wasn't the guy, etc. etc. etc.
