Combat Video
May 13, 2007 2:02 am General, YouTubeIf you love to watch combat video, check out the link from GreenMarines.com. The war in Iraq “is the YouTube war,” said Ana Marie Cox, Washington editor of Time.com. “It’s a war where communication is instantaneous.”
Soldiers in Iraq aren’t just shooting weapons, they are shooting videos. Whether mounted on vehicles or carried to gather intelligence, cameras are rolling, and tape or digital images can easily be edited and uploaded from laptop computers.
On several Web sites, including YouTube, IFilm, Liveleak.com and Military.com, GreenMarines.com, videos shot (and sometimes edited) by soldiers or their friends and family back home are being downloaded over and over. Both the soldiers and the people who monitor the Web sites say that the videos offer a raw, first-hand view of the war.
