I'm pretty sure that is the work of NYTimes correspondent, C.J. Chivers, who does a lot of good work and has been reporting from Korengal for the past few months.

He's also a former Marine grunt. Yut!

good video to remind us of the reality of this conflict but some kid got killed, so please don't call it cool.

I can't figure out which I hate more...the acronym "COIN" or the way the Navy spells "Gage."

Same thing as a "gauge," as spelled by a retard.

You have to be kidding me.

Starkly informative. His even-toned narration is so appropriate for the high-intensity footage.
I can think of more than a few severely misinformed kids my age that should watch this and get a freaking clue.

Thanks for sharing, and thanks to Mr. Chivers and Mr. Harris too of course.
