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...

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
