[Milsurplus] "Valley of Tears"

[howard holden]

I’d think this was a Quonset hut rather than a van. The rounded contour, and the lights casually mounted along the overhead area. Also looks no one is wearing headphones. Unusual, at least in my experience in a multi-receiver setup.
No HBO or Max here…..

Subject: [Milsurplus] "Valley of Tears"

I took this snip from a trailer for an Israel TV series about the 1973 Yom Kippur war,
"Valley of Tears". An Israeli communications van. Looks real but we shall see – later.
There's some scenes where a nerd-type youth apparently somehow picks up Syrian –
Egyptian communications and warns of the upcoming surprise attack – I wonder what
kind of equipment he used, or is portrayed using – and supposedly this is actual
history, no fabrications.
It's only available, for now, on HBO Max, which I am not going to pay for. I can wait;
DVD will eventually be available or will "leak" out.
Israel lost 2,700 out of 3 millions population. Scale that up for comparison.  177 tanks
versus 1600. Series has been praised as much more "international appearing" than a
small country's work. I post this at risk of arousing irate anti-Israel riposte, but even
those souls could possibly appreciate this as purely a "war movie" couched naturally
from the view of the creators' home.
