Iraq - For Real: A video

Last night I came a video that a friend of mine, Andy Klien, made. This video is based on his time in Iraq with the 2nd Platoon of A Company in the US Army. His unit specialized if finding and dealing with bombs and IED's along roadways. I encourage any readers to view this film, and when you do take notice of some things:

1. When you see the arial shots notice how Baghdad looks very metro-ish, like how Detroit might look from the air.

2. When on the roads, you see cars comming and going like you would any other place.

I point out such things so that a reader/viewer will understand how "normal" some things are in Iraq, contrary to what many might hear on the evening news or from a cable news channel such as CNN.

Looks like this is also going to get picked up by the Chicago Tribune.

Enjoy!
