I concur with this opinion, however I would recommend a cost benefit analysis, first how much would it cost to get this channel, second how much do you value having a relatively large amount of television programming on aspects of air, land, and sea warfare with a high degree of weekly repeats and old programs.
History Channel and Military Channel both have their good and bad points.
Back when I worked in the cable industry I was up on all that stuff, repeats, repurposed programming. Basically it boils to down money (surprise surprise!)
Fortunately, I haven't seen the History Channel replaying Weapons At War.
It's so irritating to watch programs that were produced in 1991 when all of the information is now horribly out of date.
For example, what good does it do the uninformed to broadcast a show bragging about weapons systems like they are still in service, when in fact they were taken out of service 10 years ago?
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
They have some really good programs, the one about the WWII US Blackcat PBR night attack sqns was really informative, and the program about the Iwo Jima survivors returning to the island was very emotional.
