This is important subject matter. It deserves important attention. After watching the premiere, it is obvious that the makers of the show have gone for the "Melrose Place" angle. They cloak the melodrama in the trappings of important issues. Sad, sad, sad. I am a veteran. I am a USMA grad. I once had the unpleasant but important task of serving as the rear detachment commander for an active duty Army unit which was deployed overseas. My job was to deal with...among other things...the wives and families left behind by the soldiers. Based on my experience, it seems to me that those responsible for the show do address real and complex issues, but they don't give them the appropriate amount of attention. The plot lines are not realistic, and they do a disservice to real Army wives. Out.
