The war in Iraq from the other side of the camera lens. Skip past all the helicopter stuff no point watching it. Basically it's a compilation of assorted attacks on American soldiers, some fatal and fairly graphic.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    The last time I posted anything like this I recieved a torrent of abuse. Apparently it's only acceptable to see Iraqis being killed, and unacceptable to see what we are sending our fellow countrymen into.

    Our troops being killed is equally as bad and equally our choice.

    Yeah, but it's something of a taboo subject for a lot of people.

    yeah well ignorance is not bliss nor is it an excuse. people need to get themselves educated to get rid of any chance they have to say they didn't know. cause that's a cop out.

    I think people who get their jollies watching and spreading this stuff are sick fucks, no matter who is killing whom.

    I'd say that staement could be considered true if it didn't happen to be an empty assumption.

    Because it's real... i.e. it's really happening. If it was fake, what you said would make sense...

    Unless there is a benefit of some kind in averting daily reality

    Lots of real things happen every day that I don't need to have on video. I'd prefer not to watch animals being tortured. I'd prefer not to watch kids being raped. I know that stuff happens, I don't deny it, and I'm saddened by it. But I don't need to watch the videos over and over again.

    But if that's your thing, go for it.

    I believe the video was aptly described.
