ABC News: "Exclusive Look at Soldiers on the Front Line"

Hat tip to Dave Lindorff who originally linked this five-minute glimpse into the U. S. soldiers and Iraqis civilians' life. Click the title line above, then "Exclusive Look at Soldiers on the Front Line" it follows a short 30 minute commercial, of course. Excerpt from Dave's article: "Then, in another scene, the men open fire on a car cruising the neighborhood, which they fear might be a terrorist looking for a target. After killing the driver, they learn from a local woman that it was just a taxi driver she had called, who was trying to locate her address. [ ... ] A clearly frustrated and angry GI, Specialist Michael Vassell, says, “I challenge anybody in Congress to do my rotation... Because we have people up there in Congress with the brain of a two-year-old who don’t know what they’re doing… I challenge the president to ride along with me for 15 months. I’ll do another 15 months if he comes out here and rides along with me…They won’t even have to pay me!” End Excerpt [Watch Video]
