The channel is Discovery (Discovery Times) the program is Off To War. It follows Arkansas National Guard unit transfered to Iraq. For anyone who still hasn’t gotten it thru their thick scull that what you see on TV is not a game or a movie, but a real fucked up situation that actually involves real people – either someone’s son, dad, brother who go there not because they want to but because they had to. It’s the story of those who bit on the National Guard’s “1 weekend a month 2 weeks a year” sales pitch only to be sent half a world away to find their death. It’s quite moving, and it’s not narrated, the soldiers speak for themselves
