Fascinating documentary. Three National Guardsmen out of New Hampshire agree to take cameras to document their tours over in Iraq in 2004 - 2005. A straight documentary with little political point of view other than the soldiers' bitching. Shows a little bit of the intensity of soldiers' lives and the death they face every day by a faceless enemy who attacks mostly by bomb ambush. The big things I took from it was how the soldiers seemed fairly unprepared, there wasn't a real agenda for the soldiers, they were very bitter about mainly guarding Hallibuton convoys and the money that is made over their dead and mangled bodies, and the bitterness and anger brought back by the older veterans. Very highly recommended.
Follow Ups:
... surely the issues of Haliburton and the profits made "over their dead and mangled bodies" strikes at the heart of the reasons for the invasion.
This was a single unit that seemed to have the main job of protecting the convoys. They weren't there (for the most part) to engage the enemy other than to ride along side and in the convoys and maybe even trigger the boobytraps to protect the convoy. It wasn't implied or suspected that Haliburton was "the" reason they were there.
