Remember 'MASH'? 'Apocalypse Now' didn't get me riled nor any other VN vet. WTF shows the crazy and serious side of war zone denizens. I liked it but you may not. With cable you can turn if off in the first seven minutes and be done with it. Fey stretches a bit in this role.

My favorite line: "Embrace the suck and go the fuck forward." I think Colonel Billy Bob said that one.

This is based on the experiences of a woman reporter who became an Afghanistan junkie. Keep that in mind as it is not intended as a non-stop comedy sketch even though Lorne Michael's co-produced it.
