Rarely seen on our News programs. We get major blast news, numbers killed of civilians and how many of our Military Personal, but rare footage of what's happening Daily. ABC News showed a cut of this report on 7-16-07, the Guardian Unlimited has the full report and it was shown on British TV.

The Guardian's award-winning photographer and filmmaker Sean Smith spent two months embedded with US troops in Baghdad and Anbar province. His harrowing documentary exposes the exhaustion and disillusionment of the soldiers.

I saw this on SBS here in Australia a week ago and was looking for it to post. I don't think this is snuff - I do think this is journalism, just not the DOD approved stuff shown on US TV. I'm surprised ABC showed any of it.

Great video. I'm surprised there aren't more people bitching about the driver that got shot.

The who is Eric. The how is typing *return. The what would be the video. Not sure about the last part. I know being home on a Saturday night might not be exactly what you had in mind, but tomorrows a new day. Keep your chin up.

I almost wish I believed in hell, so I could imagine the architects of this war burning in it along with the 9/11 hijackers.

Alas, hell exists on Earth - in places like this and Ground Zero on 9/11. What a world.

As it did in Vietnam, it's this kind of actual footage that will end the war. If only the major networks would air it.

i know this one christian conservative jackass, who "wants to nuke all of the middle east and let god sort it out" now this is almost the same thing happening here, except without nukes. what is wrong with the world. what happened to benevolence and good will, what happened to forgiveness and virtue, why must people die in the street without repercussion?
FUCK! i want a new planet >:[

leeweek i agree hell makes me want to cry. i mean having to be around that shit is hell hell on earth. what are we to do. im an American and when the vets come home ,im sory but like this guy came back to our collage and at first it was nice to see him back alive. and i asked him if he was scared they were going to make him go back. he said "i dont think they will ever send me back to iraq". but then i saw a video of hell and i realy did not want have any thing to do with this vet. i was like thinking to my self you were part to this shit, why. i would rather be in jail than do this kinda job. but i know its not that simple. anyway this guy is gone again i wonder if he is back in hell.
