I'll go off-topic :) http://www.wnyc.org/story/50354-michael-ware/ http://www.wnyc.org/story/journalist-who-witnessed-birth-isis-iraq/ Here are two interesting interviews of Michael Ware who was embedded many times during the second Iraq war and was there from the beginning. The first interview is just after he was embedded in the battle of Fallujah in 2004. Not a documentary, sorry but I found these interviews pretty fascinating Edited September 27, 2017 by DeadMeat_015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205 [SHOOP] knice_destroyer Members 623 posts 13,233 battles Report post #8 Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks I will check it out. I'm just saying a 20pt series like the Vietnam war documentary would be cool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
105 dangerhamster Members 270 posts 85 battles Report post #9 Posted September 29, 2017 The BBC have picked this up, apparently an abridged version at only 10hrs instead of the full 18. So that's my IPlayer time sorted for when wifey commandeers the TV for endless decorating shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great interviews, new perspectives especially from the N. Vietnamese Army. Great. Great. Great. Doc. Donate to PBS to watch it, that's our budget US BBC. They do thrones in the UK on their Public Channel.... Edited October 6, 2017 by atPrick__ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
