Marines in Fallujah - Video Clip (BBC)

Video Clip

This is pretty good. Not biased like I expected it to be (coming from the BBC). A great account of the assault on Fallujah from the Marines perspective.

Only downside: I couldn't get it to save, and it was pretty annoying watching it streaming because it kept skipping and "buffering." Then I would have to rewind it a few seconds so I wouldn't miss anything.

I got it to work ... man, that was a quality report. Lots of good footage and the commentary was ok to go along with it.

Thanks for posting the link Huey.

I finally got it to work, had to tinker with my internet settings, wasn't accepting the security certificate of the site.

I agree with the rest, good info. There was a good TV special the other night that was very similar (I think it was CNBC??) that was a reporter enbedded with a marine company going into Fallujah. It too was very informative and some good video on scene. I can't remember the unit (pretty sure they were west coast troops, though) but it was focused on the captain (O-3) of the unit that had gained notoriety for singlehandedly fighting his way out of ditch, killing 5 enemy, earlier in the war. Anyone else see this that can add enough to this rant that it doesn't just look like I've lost my mind?

Excellent report. Thank god the Marines are on our side.

the colonel was hillarious when they were in battle he had a big 'ol cigar hanging from his mouth.

Heh, when they asked about his wounded he said:

The enemy fired
And they got in the way

Huey I got it from another forum, but I just posted it on the MODF, hopefully they don't rip my ass.

That was tight. Nothing but the upmost respect for a Marine.
