Not bad, 4 September 1999
Author: Jack Austin Crawford from Burnet, Texas (USA)

Though probably perceived as a cheesy mini series, this has a lot of good performances, notably Max Gail as a career NCO and Weaver as a negative stereotype of a career officer. It is also fairly faithful to history, something I found refreshing...
