Referred by Armed Forces Journal -- a sampler of war videos. Put simply: Happy viewing. Although navigating the world of online war videos is at best a haphazard venture, there is enough material to provide as clear a view into the lives of combat, boredom and pointless amusement of the soldiers in Iraq as one will find anywhere.
On this particular video: One topic that has received extensive online treatment is the role of contractors on the battlefield, the subject of a Robert Greenwald documentary, "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers," that has been promoted heavily on YouTube and other online forums. As with many critiques of contractors on the battlefield, Greenwald lambastes the extravagant fees paid to contractors in Iraq and the apparent disregard for their lives shown by the companies that send them over.
