There is a documentary on Nat Geo on demand called Restrapo.  It is about a Company from the 173rd Airborne and their tour in Afghanistan.  I highly recommend it, my deployment sucked, theirs really sucked.

I've read like ten reviews of this, it's on my short list.  The recent medal of honor guy was in the same area at the same time, though if I remember correctly, he's not in the flick.  I'll watch it some day.

I wish Comcast wouldn't have taken NatGeo away from me...I love shows like that. One of the best shows I ever saw profiled men who earned the Medal of Honor. Obviously their feats were heroic, but some of them were almost unbelievable...good stuff

I have Comcast and still have it, did you downgrade?

What I like about the documentary is it just lets the guys tell their story.

I can profile MoH winners for you in 2 sentences.

Those who lived through the event that lead to them being awarded the MoH did something truly heroic in combat.

Those who died during the event that lead to them being awarded the MoH were not well liked by their platoon and were thrown on the grenade.

I have whatever their cheapest digital pack is. It used to include NatGeo but it got moved to the more upscale lineup. It's too bad I have Chili's or Outback taste but live on a Wal Mart budget

Thankfully the show I watched went into much greater detail

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

I think Walking Dead is a great show and had a good finale. And I'd bet that the Doc infected blondy with something, if not the disease, when he was taking blood from her. Wasn't she the only one he stuck?

No, he stuck all of them. Why would he test people he thought were potential zombies if he knew the place was going to explode less than 24 hours later?
I think he tells Rick his wife is pregnant

Good call, very well could be what he said. Why would he test them? Same thing I thought at the end. But then like you say, he knew the place was gonna' blow up, so why would he infect someone if he wouldn't be around to test them for a cure?

Pretty sure that's not it...as gay as the show is, I'm almost 100% he told Rick he wished he could've stuck it in his poop pincher

i'm pretty sure he didn't know the place was gonna blow, i think the timer only started once the fuel or whatever got to a certain level.  i agree with SD on what he said, except you know the baby is gonna be other dudes.
