    Just found your channel and watched the Jeep video. I can't tell the difference between this and the ones I watch on TV and DVD.

    Go small to win big absolutely. When armed with a recoilless rifle/bazooka no fixed fortification or piece of armor was safe. Also acted as "political capital"(money) as Lend Lease keeping the Allies in particular British and American working together. Packard Trucks for the USSR from the USA performed a similar role. Working on the thousands of air bases the USA built and ran during World War 2 was another critical function...moving ammo and bombs to aircraft and pilots and crew as well. No seatbelt was a major flaw though.

    CORRECTION! At the 22 second point the narrator called the "cavalry" the "calvary" and that is very insulting and shows a lack of professionalism. "Calvary" is a place outsider Jerusalem. However, I've even heard troops of the Cav say it incorrectly. Carry on!
