Found this via a comment at VP: A Letter from David Mamet to the Writers of The Unit
The show could have been much better -- how much of it was due to DH's questionable acting schools as Jonas Blaine? Still, it is probably the case that the writing for the show was rather bad, and the fact that 1/2 of the show focused on drama involving the housewives probably compounded this. That the scripting was a problem would explain why Mamet's Spartan, a movie focused on Delta Operators, was better entertainment despite the greater "realism" of The Unit.
