I don't recommend TV shows much, but there appears to be a great evening of viewing in store for us tonight.
At 7:00 PST there is a documentary about the Iraqi nuclear weapon program, and how they had actually gotten one built in 1983. However, a strike of Israeli fighters laid waste to the whole program in about a 30 second period. Should be good.
That will get you warmed up for what is on at 8:00 PST. The show is called "Bravo Two Zero" and is the BBC documentary about a British SAS (Special Forces) squad that gotten comprimised and trapped deep in Iraq. They were chased across the whole country to escape to Syria, only to be caught at the border and tortured until the end of the war. Andy McNab is an SAS operative, and wrote a pair of books on the subject called "Bravo Two Zero" and "Immediate Action" that were the most accurate depictions of life in the Special Forces and Special Warfare in my case that I have ever read. Straightforward, accurate etc...
The maneuvers on the documentary, taken from the book and overseen by Andy were 100% realistic, and really give you a great idea of how screwed Special Warfare is in the event of a comprimise.
Needless, they killed over 200 Iraqis while evading. Great, true story. I give two thumbs and ten toes up on this two shows.
I think they replay at 10/11
