I don't think there is film of it.

okay w00t!, I'm going to paint now, just stay cute and keep the bale of cotton on hold until I get back...please and thank you...

I bought one to honor our soldiers. And its a good gift for father's day.

Does it contain ALL the recent wars?

Bush's and Obama's?

For the people that have purchased these videos, Are they old old made movies or are they up to date about the wars...I hate the old nasty looking reprints and perfer something rather current about the wars With James Cagney, I guess I am barking up wrong tree and should know its old reprints. I am just wishing for better quality I guess

Good point,well said.

Tears came to his eyes when we came accross the Battle of the Bulge. Over 2/3rds of his unit did not survive and he got his Purple Heart. Through this tin box of movies, I learned some serious family history.

Thanks so much for posting that story.

This is a good deal, the "France Stories of War" only has 6 DVD's

Those are not history yet. You can catch them on CNN though.

Seems to stop at 'Nam. Look at the lettering at the bottom of the can.

My 82 year old dad loved this when I got one about a year ago.

"War coverage includes Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War"

Horry CLAP!

Either you've got an "asian" Mom, or your Dad hates 'em all!

My Grandfather lied about his age and fought in WW1 at age ~12. Did WW2 & Korea too.

When my Uncle got drafted to go to 'Nam, G-Pa went down, lied about his age and tried to go with him, but at 60+ he wasn't able to fool 'em this time...

They say he went on a month-long bender over that one...

Don't get me wrong - the US .mil robbed THEMSELVES on that deal. That old man would have kept up with any 18 year old...

20-odd years later, he fathered my OTHER (half-)uncle at age 83. Last time I saw him he was 92 and I was 16, I said something smart-@$$ and he knocked me out cold.

He was splitting wood with an axe at 6-weeks before his 100th birthday when he had a stroke. He missed 100 by 9 days.

THAT was a MAN! - they don't make us like those any more...

So they keep having this set on sale? Guess I will have to pay more attention. Didn't even realize there was a Woot off going on. Managed to miss it while the server barfed on my logging in and then trying to find the correct password.

No cable, so we have a server around 500+ DVD's already. I like multiple discs for cheap ;)

500 people wanted this in 6 seconds.
