Awesome Documentary on PBS

My old Cavalry regiment! We ,during the Korean War were between the horses & the heilocopters. In other words,we were ground pounders. The mounted Cavalry ended in the Phillipines early in WW II. They had to eat their horses & fight as foot soldiers until the surrender.
The Cavalry wes formed again during the Kennedy-McManara era I believe but they rode 'copters into battle.Hairy ? I'll bet.
Am interested in seeing the new weapons. We used WW II stuff, heavy but VERY reliable.

Sadly, I only taped 1 hour to watch later. My friends told me after that it was 1 1/2 hours long. Oh, well,as they said in service,"Theres always some SOB that didn't get the word ."

You can watch online or buy it VHS or DVD 29.85. Ithink it going to be shown again this week.

I bought one other Frontline it was about presidential campaigning. It showed the money system. It was disgusting.
