Music video of Marines in Fallujah... psyops?
I was just browsing YouTube and ran across this... a music video created by a Marine with footage of his regiment fighting in Fallujah. The video says the creator is a "combat correspondent," so I wonder if he wasn't ordered to create and post this video as a form of astroturf military PR. The Private Cowboy of the 21st century, so to speak. The video itself is obviously amateur, but there are some interesting moments throughout. If you pay attention, you'll notice interesting little touches like an artillery shell labeled "Iraqi Ass Kicker." There's a conspicuous lack of death and corpses and an abundance of Hollywood-style exploding buildings. Makes it look like Marines just hang out with their buddies, play with destructive gadgets and lower property values in foreign countries.
