name your favorite war/military doco series

Another for me, and one that I actually own on DVD is the 1960s Australian TV series ANZAC. It's usually played on TV on Anzac day ( 7two this year played most if not all of the series over the whole day ).

Ditto the above, especially the CBC Vietnam series.Plus:

Victory at Sea: outstanding series! Now quite old and have not seen anything of it in years.
The Civil War; a Ken Burns series. He must be one of the best doco makers of all time.
The War: another Ken Burns film, fantastic parallels between the US home front and the fighting front.

Would appear so: I saw it on (I think) ABC many years ago.

A couple decades ago, there was a very good Canada at War series

they havent re=broadcast that in decades...probably not "PC" these days..

.heck they even put disclaimers on tv before the fishing and hunting shows. "may not be suitable for young viewers".. my we are sensitive these days,,and I guess oh so -urban- and distant from the great outdoors.

HOWEVER, that being said, CBC does air a radio drama series that is actually quite good, called "Afghanada" - about a squad on patrol in afghanistan..quite realistic in many ways..they even swear sometimes !!! imagine that.
