I've only see the first 2 of 6 parts so far, but I can tell you, if you ever wanted to see how Ill-equipped the National Guard Troops were when they got shipped off to Iraq, here's you chance. This documentary is amazing at how "Real" it is, and shows how old and out of shape some of these poor guys are, that got shipped out, with their Vietnam-era equipment in late 2003.
The links to the program's website are below:

Here's how you find it, if you have Comcast Digital Cable:
Goto Comcast OnDemand (Channel 1 on my box)
Then highlight and press O.K. on "TV Entertainment"
Click the "Down" arrow until you see "Discovery"
Highlight and press O.K. on "Discovery"
Then highlight and press O.K. on "Discovery Times"
You should see "Off To War" Ep1, Ep2, Ep3, and one or two Extra:Off to War's
It's only available until October 27th, so if you have it, I highly recommend this program. This is REAL Reality T.V.
It's also going to be replayed on the Discovery Times Channel Starting October 15, 2005. They will be playing parts 4, 5 and 6, which are not at On Demand though.
