There is a mini series that is currently airing on HBO called "Generation Kill" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995832/
This is a great series thus far, and I highly recommend it. The story feels very realistic, action is great, and dialogue/personalities are about spot on according to various military friends of mine. But beyond all of that, I want to post here just to point out the best character in the show. The Iraqi translator who is in the Marines' unit. I think this character is so awesome because it is more or less our caricature of Nar. He speaks quickly, with an accent using various jargon he's picked up around like "Did you see this dude's passport, it is some pretty wicked **** dude, he is giving jihad as his reason for entry into the country."
Give it a watch, and think of Nar.
