News and video from the men and women of our military! I am former 3rd Infantry Division, 981st MP Co myself and love our men and women of the military. I have started this channel as a tribute to them and their mission.
What you will see here are military videos released to the public but not seen on media outlets. Videos from various sources at DOD and other official sites.

Consequently you can view / get your rocks off on the 2 videos described above here described as - MND-B Aircrews Thwart Rocket Attack on IZ

If you use Blinkx (recommended here ) and search on the above tag you will find OPn ero has posted it here on Live Leak and military spot has posted it on Google Video here
and it is also available embedded in his/her website here http://www.militaryspot.com/videos/iraq11.htm
along with lots more of the same sort of stuff that the ex military seem to enjoy. Nothing like the smell of some dead sand niggers in the morning ...

Lotsa donut munchers about it seems Chuckee...we prefer Bath Olivers.
