Combat

[berto]

I have watched a few episodes recently on the (American) H&I (Heroes & Icons) Network. As a kid, I used to watch Combat! avidly in its first run in the early to mid 1960s. The series is not as good as I remember it, but Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers etc. sort of spoil the old productions, don't they?

Consider the budget and the time spent for each episode, Combat comes out ahead by far for what it is worth.

Not that Band of Brothers is not worth watching. I may even buy it on DVD.

Greetings wodin,
I grew up on Combat and watched all the episodes. They are available for free online

Both my father and mother were ballet dancers in the NY ballet company (STOP LAUGHING!!): I had so many after school fights since I was always teased in gym class about wearing ballet slipper or tights or a tutu. I wish my parents named me Sue, like the Johnny Cash song, since it would have been easier to deal with!
Here is the episode where a an army soldier(former ballet dancer) takes out a German machine gun:

I also watched the Rat Patrol which is also free online

Well, then this site and its sights may arm your heart:

I have also read where male professional athletes will take ballet to improve their balance and thus their performance. Besides, would you rather be with a lot of hot, sweaty guys or a bunch of nice, young, glistening, athletic, females breathing heavily?[8|]

I own and watch Band of Brothers biannually, alternating one year to the next with The Pacific, which I also own and, of the two, is more my favorite.

Can't wait for Hanks & co. to finish and release The Mighty Eighth.
