Combat Video From Fallujah

Pretty good, although it really skews towards the war-as-entertainment side of things.

Which I don't know is a bad thing, necessarily, given that we are at war. I see a lot of commercials selling the career-boosting side of military service. Trouble is, we need people who are keen on going to war right now, not so much people who just want to earn money for college.

This video doesn't seem to portrary war realistically. But, let's face it, it's compelling to see explosions. And a wall absolutely obliterated, brick-by-brick, by machine-gun fire.

Thanks for the link. I'm just wondering...What part of realism are you seeking? Tie Fighters or something?

I doubt the Marines are as upset about the lack of "Allah Ackbar" footage as you seem to be. To me, that's a good thing.

I thought it was pretty rockin'. Just what a fighting man would want to see. This would have gone over great back in '91 with my guys. I'll guess that attitude is still the same now.

Good video. I'm sure it would have been a more realistic portrayal had it included scenes of mangy stray dogs snacking on corpses, as was a somewhat common site then. It would be nice if some nerd could hack this onto terrorist web sites; Mr. Insurgent thinks he's clicking to view the latest and greatest home movie of an IED and is instead made to watch this. Hmmm...perhaps then the aforementioned corpse snacking would be appropriate...

Costa Rican National Police told The Post that Warner was pulled from the water by people in the area and taken to shore, where the Costa Rica Red Cross tried to revive him but were unsuccessful in their efforts.
His body was taken to the morgue at San Joaquin de Flores for an autopsy. The cause of death is listed as asphyxiation by "submersion."
