The VideoVets Project

Check out this project. It's just a series of interviews with troops who have served in Iraq, and their families.

You can rate each of the videos according to how much you like them.

The winning video will be produced by Oliver Stone.

Or, you can just watch them.

It's up to you.

But I found it pretty powerful. I don't often talk to troops or their families, so it's a perspective that was somewhat new to me.

Victory in Anbar Province? Vision for Iraq?

Check out this powerpoint presentation. And pass it on:

This post gives some detail and background on the soldier who created the presentation:

It's simple genius at its best. And it's too bad that he got killed by a roadside bomb, though that event may have provided the publicity that has made this thing available for us to view.

Enjoy.
