5.0 out of 5 stars Action-packed Television Documentary, April 26, 2009

This review is from: Combat Zone (DVD)

CZ does a great job of giving you a good look at various firefights throughout modern history. Fights are recreated and intermixed with actual combat footage, and interviews with the guys who were actually on the ground doing the fighting. This is not your grandfathers war documentary. The show moves at a fast pace and is really focused more on the combat action itself. Similar to Battlefield 360, computer generated graphics supplement the narration and gives the viewer a good 360 degree view of the battlespace, which really offers a unique and clear perspective of how things unfold during a particular engagement. You get the entire series in single boxed set, so it's really a nice DVD series to own for any modern military history buff.

Watch with amazement with live accounts , footage and reinactments of what the American soldier deals with in major military confrontation. Put down the video game and understand the costs of freedom. I really like the information this series provides. Our troops have always been amaxing people and this will show you why. MUST SEE ! and God Bless the USA

I ordered this DVD because one of my life long buddies is featured in one of the battles. My buddy has never spoken to me about the event and he's never seen the story but I believe he received a medal of valor for his actions. I don't get Discovery or the Military channel so I'd never seen Combat Zone. I first watched the segment about my buddy on-line then knew I had to have a copy. The writers and directors have done an excellent job on all of the stories told here. The stories are told with footage, and production interspersed with personal interviews. The DVD quality is excellent although the camera work is somewhat raw (as it should be). My husband and I watched tale after tale with awe, amazement and gratitude. We have a 20 year old son in the Marines. Watching these stories helped illustrate for us what it takes to fight up close and personal. The men in these stories are skilled, courageous, and sometimes just plain lucky but all are dedicated. I recommend this DVD to anyone who respects and appreciates the service of our men and women, and accepts the reality that war is a necessary evil.
