Me three, they also said that the Zeke had more torque than a P51-D and had overpowering statistics against it. Yet the P51-D pilots always won :rofl But that might've been on a discovery channel "special....." :rofl

Or the P-51 had 6x 50mm cannons and the P-38 had dive brakes.

That dude always seemed like he was most interested in how long the barrels were on anything.

The Military Channel sucks.  You can find good shows on now and again, but the majority are pretty lame.  I personally miss the old History Channel, before they decided ghetto gang wars and driving trucks over frozen lakes was history.

You guys ever see this guy on the Military Channel, I always thought something looked off about him, now I know why, he had a sex change operation to become a women, he even taught Prince William & Harry at Sandhurst Military Academy.  I'm sure that you'll never see him again on the Military Channel as an expert.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article27762.ece

Whatttttt   thats crazy.  He was also talkin and some stuff on that channel.  He did always talk and phrase things and the way his voice sounded like he was a bit effeminate...or i guess gay-ish

Yea history channel isnt really history any more.  The sad thing is the show that has the most history is probably pawn stars.....and then you have those dumbed down specials about the american history, the content of which you would also be taught in a 5th grade us history class.

Military channel does play the SAME stuff over and over and over....my tv has been broken for a while maybe 4 months,yet someone mentioned that they still play the same stuff over and over.  Also Wings of the Luftwaffe old series but one of the best....good sound track good narrator, and  the depth they go into about the topic is also good.

Agreed, I miss it.... I wonder if we can get Hulu to get ontop of those episodes...


Or the P-51 had 6x 50mm cannons and the P-38 had dive brakes.

ack-ack

Made me cringe, and still does to hear that 50mm line.


     The Military Channel is to military history what McDonalds is to fine cuisine  :D

And to add, going to McDonnalds for a salad or healthy snack is like going to a hooker for a hug.
