armed forces and our first responders jodi how do you feel about that description i think it's a lie. if you go and watch the show i forced myself to watch one hour of the two hours last night because i felt like if i was going to be talking against it i should at least see it i really think that the producers and directors should hang their heads in shame i think that these celebrities if that's what they are. who decided to be in this show really look at what they're doing should hang their heads in shame general wesley clark who ran for president of united states and knows what real war is is actually hosting this joe the the most exciting if you will if you like war and violence moments are the trailer if you go into the show itself it's profoundly boring it takes forever they keep doing it over and over for teams of you know there's the soldiers coupled with the many celebrities and they go through the same routine for clients in the show and there's no risk to their lives whatsoever it's a joke and they certainly as staring outrage in r t actually spoke to some protestors outsid
