Last night I watched a documentary that covered the final days in Vietnam before the fall of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City). It was on Netflix and...
(hehe) I mentioned Glory in the second post. It is a good flick and the performances by Broderick, Washington, and Freeman are top notch. I forgot...
The tenth episode is the final one. It is a mini-series, so after that, there won't be any more. At least, as far as I know.
This documentary covers the 1983 training exercise known as Able Archer. That, along with other events, almost lead the world to the Third World...
The first flight of the Bachem Ba 349 was in March of 1945. There is no way, in any quantity, such an aircraft could have changed the outcome of the...

No, Alphonse "Scarface" Capone never fought in World War I nor served in the US Army. The only documented member of his family to do so was James...
I came across this vintage video in my travels and thought I'd pass it along. Though it has a large dose of propaganda in it, the side-by-side...
I'd imagine most have been following the news of Russian involvement in Syria. They have regular forces, including air power, operating in the...
Well, I managed to watch both episodes ("Pilot", "Sunrise") and I must say it was pretty darn good. It is, more or less, true to the original book....
