    I just finished watching this last night.

    It was quite interesting. I didn't realize that the according to the documentary, the US hasn't built a new one from scratch since 1993. They refurbish and rebuild them instead which is an incredibly time consuming and labor intensive task.

    It looks like it'll be rerun again on 3/1.

    To say nothing about the fact the M1-A2 gets about 3 gallons per mile.
