If I may add, the みろ part of やってみろ has nothing to do with 見ろ. 見る and みる are two different words.
To clarify for someone who hasn't seen discussion on this before, 見る means "to look/see." みる means "to try out." やってみる means to "do something [to see what it is like]." 食べてみる means "eat something [to see what it tastes like]." Etc. The use of kanji for みる there is 100% incorrect. It's essentially like writing 貝社 instead of 会社 for "company."
