Scouring you tube for the secrets of life late at night, Combat! for no reason popped into my head, punched it in, and by golly there it was.

It needs no introduction to those that used to watch it. It is still good today, a sort of saving private ryan from 1963. I am watching the early episodes, but there are some colour ones. It always starts with a battle, the germans can fire shed loads of bullets and hit nothing, the Yankees only get a few shots off, and hit every time. That should get better. There is no pointless dialogue, its action all the way.

There is genuine drama and situations that are realistic. Vic morrow who starred in it died by decapitation by a helicopter blade, no health and safety back then i suppose, Rick Jason shot himself. Morrow was said to have tombstones in his eyes, you can feel his hopelessness during fighting.

There is an article on Bonners psychological effect on the team, this bloke seems to be on another level. God knows where this bloke is going.
