US Soldier's Video Tour of Iraq

A short video showing the common sights while convoying around Iraq. I recognized some of them and thought this was a good representation of what soldiers experience on a daily basis. Most convoys are just filled with uneventful driving and waves/salutes from children and Iraqi army soldiers.

I guess I hadn't really thought of it that way. I liked how it portrayed the uneventful nature of your average convoy as well as the reactions of locals. The people are generally friendly and the children always wave.

there's better examples of the humanity during war-personally, can't wait till our boys get back from the protraction expedition....war veterans on the street may take some of the edge off a nation of passive-aggressive wankers, and their out-of-touch, programmed politics-

Yeah, there are plenty of better examples of humanity during the war. I wasn't really thinking the video showed humanity. I suppose I liked it more because its just familiar to me. I thought this just showed the more mundane every day experience. Drive around, see the people, nothing happens. Thats your average day during deployment. Could they have put better music to it? Sure. Is "Shoot to Thrill" really that poor of a choice? I think given the mundane nature of the video it's not. Didn't even occur to me until it was mentioned here. If it were a video like the one showing Blackwater driving around randomly shooting up cars that would be different. I just hear a rock song set to some convoy footage.

The lyrics...

All you women who want a man of the street
But you don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a coming and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn

I'm gonna take you down - down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will

I'm like evil, I get under your skin
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know

I'm gonna take you down - down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
Shoot to thrill, ready to kill
I can't get enough, I can't get the thrill
I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Pull the trigger
