The Wire
"The Wire" is a one-hour HBO drama set and produced in Baltimore Maryland. It was created, produced, and primarily written by David Simon. Each season details a different aspect of the city: drug trade, the port, city government, school system, and the media/newspaper. The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, artistic ambitions, and uncommonly deep exploration of sociological themes. It has frequently been cited by critics as one of the greatest television series of all time.The Wire
Military slang for the perimeter around a forward operating base or patrol base. Except in very remote and sparsely built/manned outposts inside the wire is safer than some bad neighborhoods in the USA. If its a larger base there might even be a McDonalds and Starbucks inside the wire. Outside the wire is enemy territory and is where all the combat and danger happens. Time spent outside the wire is often a direct measure of how experienced a military member is in their combat arms occupation. If one spends too much time inside The Wire they risk becoming a Fobbit.
Example:
Grunt: You going with us outside the wire on our next op? Might get to see some action.
Fobbit: Well... I would love to, but you see, I have this thing at that one place with the people and gosh, I just can't get permission from my unit to go along with you guys!
