From "The Big Picture" documentary series. In this episode, we take a look at the US Army soldiers forward-stationed in Western Europe...taking guard along the Iron Curtain
My older Brother and I Loved watching this TV show growing up !! 📺 My Brother missed wasn't drafted by 1972', I joined the Marines in 1976' 👍 We had WWII parents, they has us very late in life, Bless their soles 😇
As a Retired military veteran of which served during the cold war, I say President Kennedy had it right and hit the nail right square on the head. I'm also like president Kennedy in the fact that as he said (even though he was referring just to Berlin at the time), I refer to all communist and dictatorial run countries. - There are lots of people even now-a-days who say or claim they don’t know or understand what the great issue is between living in the Free World and living in either the Communist World or in a dictatorship country run by a dictator. - Then.... Let them live in a communist country under communist rule, or live in a dictatorship country run by a dictator for a while and they will unmistakenly find out for themselves the hard way of what the great issue is. - LET FREEDOM RING !
For what it's worth, I think this is great stuff. I hadn't seen this one before! Remembering growing up in the 70's and 80's, this adds to the story. Seriously, I am glad I found this channel. Thanks for uploading all the great content, Mr. Guardia!
I spent 14 months in Furth as a Dental lab tech, from 1966, to 1967, after being drafted and six months of medical training in fort sam huston texas. no KP, gurard, or anything, and 40 hours a week, with two hours off for lunch. It was like a crafts class, and interesting. Had my own car, two girl friends, one french, lived in a giant room with three other guys, ate In a hospital, with great food we had a saying in the 564th medical detachment, 20th station hospital,"Better here, than being in civilan life, as That was too dangerious" The only fighting we did was In a German Bar called "The Crystal Palace, in Furth, fighting germans, and we never lost!....LMFAO
This really helps me understand the time line of my life and my family before me. This picks up this period in history nicely. Makes for good model building accuarcy.

And the wall fell Nov 89 during my time in the U.S. Army

They're all on holiday! For what other purpose would you position yourself near 800,000 Kilo-tons of thermonuclear firepower?!
