With reference to the clips of the fighting in Iraq, do any of you now where one can get any of those clips?
I remember a very interesting one from one of the first days of the war, US marines (I presume?) were engaged in very heavy fighting around a bridge and a small settlement.
What made that very interesting was the way it illustrated the noise and confusion, as well as
the importance of good inter-unit communication and simple procedures (which the troopers also displayed, they seemed to be on top of things).
The keywords to that clip are: Good fire and movement techniques, good leadership, launching of Javelin missiles, possible gas-attack, the adrenaline rush reactions from the soldiers involved, Cobra support and fleeting views of Iraqi troops.
Regards.
