>The LA [TIMES] highlights a disturbing trend among U.S. soldiers in
Iraq: making music videos using amateur war footage. American soldiers
are creating "fast-paced, MTV-style music videos" using footage of
firefights and killings. Some videos are meant to be funny or patriotic,
but most are gory. "This isn't some jolly freakin' peacekeeping
mission," explained one soldier.<
