Don't they? Having lots of money as a country tends to lead to that country having the best stuff last I checked.

from what ive seen...they havent faced any "worthy" opponent (no..not cause America is "t3h r0xz0rs") but cause you've only fought against enemies with outdated equipment and in alot of cases, poorly trained crews/soldiers.
but sure...ill admit to that american gear doesnt exactly suck either, cause it dont
but i wont say its the best

Bosnia had decent gear, but it still didn't work against its Western equivelents.

The history channel lost my viewership (Most of it, anyway) when they started airing JAG. Seriously, I loathe that show with a passion... And it's history HOW?

These two guys who dive on wrecks and make up a non-existent mystery are also pretty awful.

They do have good movies once in a while. And some OK disaster documentaries... But most of it, these days, is craptacular.

Reality TV should be outlawed.

They air that show on their channel? :rotfl:
Maybe they should just create a new channel like what they did with History International.

If they want to show JAG and all those reality based shows, put it on the new channel, call it History NOW or something catchy

I like JAG!

But that's my problem.:rotfl: And I agree - what's it doing on the History Channel?

They did when I was in nautical school, at least in Canada. Couple times a day - more often on the French history channel, even.

Not really. If he's so well documented, why is his childhood completely omitted from the Bible?
Because history, or narrative if you wish, was not written the same as we see today. A persons "entire biography" was not a relevant thing to the Hebrews. It was common practice to write about the significant things a person did, not what kind of cloth was used in his/her diaper or what his/her favorite smashed fruit was...

That would be a style developed by "modern" biographers and TMZ...

These programs are cheap. A proper history program or documentary costs money too make vs cheap camera work of a UFO hunter running around like Blair Witch.

Same has happened here to with UK TV history and the BBC. They are all docu-dramas and though some are good I just wished they showed history instead of some half assed drama program.
