I totally agree about how the guy sucks completely. He is so boring and serious in an absurdly over dramatic way. Discovery Channel has some great hosts, like Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters and Mike Rowe and the guy from Cash Cab, but this guy is not one of them. They are all so funny and sassy and I love their cynical humor but this guy seems to get off on trying to scare everyone about the ever-lurking terrorists and such. Boo to him. And the Dramatizations on the show are so bad and distasteful. Why does the show pretend that he's using all the weapons in an actual war/combat situation. Not cool, especially with what's going on over in Iraq. I kind of wonder if this show is made as a partial attempt to recruit young men and women into the army. I mean, he shows us all these cool guns and then talks about how they stop the terrorists. Anyone joining the army should figure out what a lie this show is. No one joining the army is going to get to use most of those weapons. All they are going to do if they sign up is fear for their lives on the other side of the world, all while missing their friends and loved ones back home. It's these kinds of shows that make me wonder about Discovery Channel's educational merit.
P.s. I'm currently watching the show and I just realized that the show is sponsored by the US ARmy. Duh. So it's confirmed, this show is nothing but war time propaganda.
