War in Iraq/Afganistan shows

[Haps]

In the last episiode of the sopranos they showed aj flipping to a show that depicted soldiers fighting against insurgents.

That reminded me that I would mind watching such a thing. But I checked out discovery/tlc/a&e and didn't really see anything. Looking for these 1hrish documentary style shows ont he current conflicts.

Any ideas?

I've seen a bunch of these types of shows about these wars but they've all been on The Military Channel. There may be a chance of finding something like this on History International.

There is a Pentagon channel too, never seen it but I would sure expect such things there. Anyone seen it and can tell us? Dish has it, and I have Dish, but not that satellite.

National Geographic has been airing a special called "Inside the Green Berets" a few times this week. It's scheduled to re-air on the 12th at 7pm.

You might check out the show FRONTLINE on PBS. They usually have a good array of programs related to the conflict. (Though none are scheduled at the moment>)

Around 2003 or so, ABC had a show called "Profiles from the Front Line" where they followed around small units of the military in Afghanistan. They followed around a Delta Force unit way out in the middle nowhere, and also a couple squads of "regular" army. I found it absolutely riviting, especially the Delta Force guys. But the show only lasted 4 or 5 episodes and then quietly disappeared. I remember it was originally supposed to go a full 13 episodes (not just six like the article I found below suggests). I just googled it and found this article about it : Profiles from the Front Line (http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkyNzImZmdiZWw3Zjd2cW VlRUV5eTYzNDY0NTcmeXJpcnk3ZjcxN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk5)

The following is a really interesting article I remember reading in Rolling Stone a couple years ago. It's about the difficulties the journalists have in Iraq and provides insight into why we see or don't see certain things.

I'm pretty sure Frontline is the show AJ was watching.
