I can relate with how these guys feel, the video reminds me of UNPROFOR in 1993.

Thanks, GinoBiffaroni, that was real interesting.
I would respect the governments and NATO more if they'd just say,'Okay, it was funny, and expresses certain troops feelings about military intervention.', but of course, being the beaurocratic ----heads that they all are, they have to act like they didn't laugh themselves when they saw it.

Will they win an MTV award? Chrisisall

Yes, but it is always the guys in the mud who wind up taking the shit when this sort of thing happens;

Would be a cool video to give an award to

British soldiers in Iraq have recently made a similar spoof video (although a lot more light hearted) set to the Tony Christey song "Is this the way to Amarillo". It aparently crashed the M.O.D. (Ministry of Defence) website because so many people were trying to download it.
The M.O.D. responded by saying words to the effect that it was officially frowned upon but if it keeps the boys morale up wheres the harm.
I tend to agree.

I think the lesson here is:
Don't creativly express yourself. Especially if you're low on the chain.

That’s certainly one interpretation.

Or perhaps the lesson might be: Political strife is only funny if you’re very far away from it.

It did crash one of the MODs IT communication server systems.
