Video footage of life in Iraq with American troops, the video is in 2 parts. Both are interesting in their own ways
Part1
Part 2
Seems to me like being an infantry soldier in Iraq mostly consists of having to do fairly nasty things to the general populace on a daily basis, which must suck for all involved.
The difficulties that complete non-comprehension of local language throw up are also interesting, apart from just completely misunderstanding the guy at the end of the second video, it also makes the troops stand-offish and seemingly arrogant as they have no choice but to generally ignore what the local people are trying to tell them.
