        >F-4s, M60 Sheridans, AH-1 and UH-1s still in service, all only slightly more improved over the units used in 'nam

        Yeah there were new and new-er equipment and vehicles, but the previous poster is still correct. New designs emerge, but old stuff doesn't simply get thrown out. Hell, most equipment used in today's US Military is almost 40 years old, at least in design.

        Without putting any of the actual fricking effort into it. Compare the mere preliminary preparations for Desert Storm and the preparations for the Invasion of Ukraine in their totality and the differences couldn't be more stark.

    Desert Storm is the hot blockbuster movie everyone loved and still re-watches.

    Iraqi Freedom is the TV show that starts out really strong for a couple of seasons but the network refuses to cancel it so it drags on and on running the same plotlines over and over until everyone forgets about it. Oh, another suicide bombing, how original.

    Inherent Resolve is their final attempt at a revival but by this time everyone is so done that it doesn't matter if it's good. If you bring it up at the watercooler no one knows what it is and when you explain it they are just confused and disinterested. Somehow still gets a few seasons.

    How's everyone enjoying the big spin off to 2014's Crimea mini series? They've been leaning on HIMARS a little hard but the North Korea twist is exciting. Seriously though, stop teasing ballistic missiles and F-15/16's unless your going to deliver.

      when kdramas started breaking into OIF, that's when you know the genre has been so played out like grey's anatomy that people are comfortable with OIF as a background setting.

      >How's everyone enjoying the big spin off to 2014's Crimea mini series?

      bretty gud, it's surprisingly good with a strong af pilot episode. it kinda borrows too much from HBO chernobyl, might have same writers and producers i think. got some nice plot twists (for me at least, i'm not very smart i just sit back and let the plot play out instead of predicting it), however i can tell it's losing steam. might pull a squid game, mass media sensation for a couple of months then forgotten when NYE rolls around. might get completely overshadowed by a chinese series in SCS, it's in production but could end up vaporware. i have my hopes up, there's some consistent /k/ino coming from asia and i find myself watching morr asian than western stuff now, especially since i dont want pride diversiry stuff forced down my throat when i'm just relaxing on couch with a cold one after a day of work.

          messed up, i meant series in taiwan strait. i think my mind is still stuck in 2016 with that artificial island set they've been building. i think it's great they made an attempt to avoid CGI green screen but nothing really came out of that.

          anyway i've been hearing >muh taiwan/SCS series for the last 30 years and my coworkers have been hearing it for close on 50. it's too big of an undertaking. china has some choice /k/ino but it's mostly on land, they don't have a good history of ocean series. i dont even know if they have a deadliest catch equivalent. if you ask me, they make some pretty good spy thrillers, and the HK police/triad series are also worth a mention.

        Iraqi freedom 2003-2004, basically up to Fallujah. In terms of aesthetics aside of uniform you can up it to 2007-2008ish when you had more mraps rolling in. However that's the 'war' period and post 2004 is more of the peak insurgency/policing action period.

        I personally like that late 90s early 2000s look with stuff being a bit ersatz, personalized, still a divide between spec-ops and regulars, no UCP.

        Inherent resolve before activation/when ISIS was poised to take Baghdad was real fricking thriller.

        It's kinda nuts how much Afghanistan falls by the wayside, since I recall shows invoking the iraq war but nobody really using or remembering Afghanistan existed. Maybe it's the bite of ISIS in fallujah and shit already but I even felt like for Veterans Iraq-ISIS was "oh god the pain" while Taliban-Afghanistan was "yep lmao".

        Which is odd given Afghanistan nominally had more of an emotional pull to us than Iraq.
