Perhaps I have oversold it-- occasionally Torchwood *has* been able to get stuff done. o.O
I think the media's fantasy of the military is way more interesting than the organization itself. (300, anyone?) The best portrayal I've ever seen of the military was in the movie Lone Star (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116905/). It's an okay movie (I need to see it again, it's been ages), but the Army guys in there are actually depicted as real people and not musclebound automatons.
