A complete history of the Green Berets
I just received " A complete history of the Green Berets". It's a dvd sold by the History channel ( http://store.aetv.com/html/product/i...tid=&subcatid=)
It cost around $30.00, but it's 100 minutes long and very good. I watched most of programs on the discovery channel and while they are pretty good, I thought the Complete history of the Green Berets was better.
I was also curious if any of the particpants on this site are shown in the dvd? Sadly, it didn't use Avatars.

The complete history, in 100 minutes, huh? Yeah, maybe not.

complete histories are impossible to write before the end of the era, my friend....

It's only 10th Group. If you include 7th and 5th, it would take about a year. LOL

Again, the junior Groups vying for attention, much like the bothersome little brother in a family.

Hey, how did that big European War gig you were working on for the past 50 years turn out?
Did you kill them in the Fulda like you planned?

Well, be fair Boss. They did send a sniper team to Beruit once. Must of been nice to spend all that time being trained by the Brits and Germans and Dutch and what was that other one? Oh yeah, THE PHRENCH!!!!!

Nope, ended up turning them to our side and training 'em on their own turf. So, how's the effort to get the narcos to do the same thing going?

Actually the conventional armored folks were to hold them at the Fulda encased in all that homosexual steel while we ate their lunch. I think the big European War gig turned out pretty good. Brought a whole frigging evil empire down without firing a shot in anger that anyone knew about.

You think that was just a 10th Group effort, Jefe?
I think that we all had something to do with that.

Of course, but the tip of the spear is the tip of the spear-blunted though it may have been after commitment.

It says, "A complete history..." not "An Ancient History..."
