I watched “Ryan” after 20 years since I first saw it. Excellent.

You Might want to watch Patton, a bridge too far or sands of Iwo Jima. Anything but Combat. Jeeze. At least hogan’s Heroes was funny

I grew up watching ABC’s ‘Combat!’ and ‘12 o’ Clock High’ Tuesday evenings. One reason I liked ‘Combat!’ is that usually lacked humor, (except for comic relief, Shecky Greene) and ‘Group Hug’ happy endings.

I have parts of ‘Patton’ memorized. Likewise, ‘Sands Of Iwo Jima’. Had a uncle who fought there and survived.
