Want to know what contemporary war looks like? Viddy
this
video (7 minutes WMV, alternate).
It features attack footage from an
AC-130 raid in
Afghanistan. The images are from the gunner's point of view. The
voiceover is remarkable.
 Watching the video you have no real sense that there are actual people dying down below. Just little bright blobs on a dark backbground. The soldiers are remarkable, too. So many people involved, so calm! War machine. Listen to the voices at the end:
That one's still crawling there
I know those two guys I saw them flying apart I saw him die earlier Thanks to Diffuse Shadows for the link and Obey the Fist for the video. I think it's interesting how most blogs picking this up are pro-war. |
