does the History Channel company still own the Military Channel and I guess this will be rerun on that channel too eventually.

No idea on History / Military channel.

I watch my militaria on Youtube, now. Lets me pick and choose what I like.

Last week, I found a great 1943-era documentary on the 8th Air Force, narrated/hosted by Errol Flynn. Real Rah-Rah, Go-and-get-'em type stuff, probably to sell more war bonds. Neat snapshot of history, sez me.

WBill Jr. likes WW II vintage army training films. "You and your M1", "Operation of the German MG42 machine gun", and so on. Really, really dry, but he thinks they're the bees knees. Anything marked "Confidential" or "Secret", he thinks that he's 'in' on something special.

Mostly, I don't mind, because I don't need to worry that he'll find something that he probably shouldn't see, so long as I screen for the VD training films, and so on. :-)
