War movie weekend

I've mentioned this here before, but I am a sucker for the war movies that pepper cable TV on Memorial Day Weekend. Last year, AMC and TCM had a very full weekend of war movies and the History Channel had a Band of Brothers marathon. Interestingly, all three channels seem to have pulled back this year. For AMC, the war movies do not begin until Sunday. At TCM, the war movies don't really kick in until Memorial Day. And the History Channel seems to have a truncated Band of Brothers marathon on Memorial Day. I'm very disappointed in all three channels this year as I suspect program directors are pulling back out of a belief that the viewing public is very anti-war right now.
