Re: [MV] MIL CHANNEL'old Vietnam crap...'

Don't know...it is what used to be known as the Discovery 'WINGS' channel
The show is a 4 part series, called Risk Factor, repeating now. Unit is
an Engineer company from Tenn. Show follows them from notification of
activation in Feb 2004 till 'Now'. Follows them driving their vehicles to
Little Rock, loading on trains to Ft. Hood, training there, then loading
them for shipment to Iraq. The Motor Pool Sgt. states "These 5 ton Dump
Trucks, the youngest one we have, is 1956 and the newest one we have is
1964". In Iraq , shows HMMWV's taken out by IED, the trailers they are
living in are mortared and 4 men are killed with several wounded..
Unit is 39th Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General John Chastain
(sp?). Unit is deployed for 18 months, 12 months in Iraq (Baghdad), the rest
requal and travel from US to Iraq and back.

Really super video of them loading all the trucks and gear at the
railhead for shipment to Ft. Hood.
