Re: Cable TV's Warfare Documentaires: Too many Needless Errors.

You know you are in trouble when your accuracy is worse than Wikipedia.....

That says it all 1250. I hate getting into a program only to find it filled with sloppy editing of stock footage (wrong vehicles shown, etc). That really robs any enjoyment of the program from me as I'll then concentrate more on the flaws than on what the program was about to begin with. One of the worst examples I can cite was a short series on the Military Channel of gun camera footage. The host or narrator would give incorrect facts about the planes and footage wouldn't always match. I'm no expert, but when they say a plane is armed with four machine guns and then show a graphic of the plane that has eight, even I can tell the difference.
