More anti-American propaganda from [CNN]
I bought this as a keepsake for my son who served in the USMC during the War for Iraqi Liberation, Oorah! We watched it together tonight, and neither of us can believe it was even the same war. This "documentary" focuses on the damage done to innocent Iraqi civilians by the evil American aggressors, and the inept "go it alone" cowboy mentality of the Bush administation. This account will give you the impression that the war was a colossal failure, not the new standard for 21st century combat that will be studied by military historians for years to come.

Save your money and wait for the "fair and balanced" version of this war. Unless you preferred the Al-Jazeera version of events during the war, you will be disappointed and a bit angry with this.

Who's Story?
CNN's Walter Rodgers was imbedded in our unit and I'm very disappointed with CNN's efforts. There was very little footage from 3-7 CAV and the story does not tell of the Army's or Marine Corps' great successes. Would not recommend this for any vet of the war, especially those who served with 3ID.

Unfortunate
I was expecting an account of the unit with which CNN's reporters were attached. I wanted to know more about their individual experiences and understand their burden. What I got was a questioning of why the war was fought in the first place. I find it unfortunate that few resources are readily available that tell the stories of those who fought so bravely. Oliver North put out a book on his experiences, I've not read it, but I'm sure he stayed closer to the events he was supposed to be covering.
