My thoughts...

Not alot of "good news" and alot of the footage was older the the surge and the current conditions in Iraq. I say that noting the desert cammies and "choclate chips"
Very dramatic.
It did show the Iraq Army and Police
The "Little Bird" with either Delta or contractors coming in was amazing and well shot
The clip with the Brit soldier on fire on his "Warrior" APC...very hard to take.
I thought it was good, if a little short on some of the good things we're doing.

I thought some of the shots (photo and video) were sublime just for the photography

great band.  perhaps if everyone in iraq were to smoke 2 blunts in the morning, smoke 2 blunts at night, they'd skip the gunfights for a bit.

Powerful.  Terrifying.  Sad.
