So true. My best friend got drafted in fall of 67. He was from Manhattan’s Eadt Side. His family , let alone him, didn’t have a car. What did the Army do? Trained him as a mechanic and assigned him to a Saigon motor pool.

Just what is our national interest in Ukraine?
France and Germany have no interest in fighting.
Is the new G8- four BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China), plus Iran, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico) the threat?

No movie gets everything right but none of them are perfect.

A favorite part of IMDB to me is people who nitpick and find the obscure errors.

Look here Henny Penny, there is nothing to this.

The Army is going back to how it was pre-9/11 with everything painted green or specifically the NATO 3 color camo which everything was painted since the mid to late 80’s.

The wonderful world of optical effects and various size scale models.

Space:1999 had the eagle on the pad scenes that has still held up to me.

A few cuts.

The show itself hasn’t aged well.

Big Finish audio dramas address some of the shortcomings of the TV show.

"The Army is reactivating the 11th Airborne for arctic operations. What’s up with that?"

They had elements at two different posts 300 miles apart and neither element was big enough to be its own division. So they rolled them together and put them under the same umbrella, even though they will continue to be stationed on two different posts.

Unless you are on the 17 or the 10 you will hear it coming for an hour before it gets there no matter what color it is... :)

We have no national interest in Ukraine. We do seem to have an over-active military-industrial complex that wants to have an external enemy to rally against. Just like the corporate profits coming from the COVID crisis, some political campaign contributors want a place to send money raised by increasing the federal debt.

My comment was m guess on where the next battleground will be that we will send federal debt dollars to. Should we be there? No.
