If you're only seeing something like this for the first time, that's disturbing to me.

From 2003-7. it was my duty to attend funerals of fallen soldiers and speak to their parents, wives, and friends, soldiers whom I had trained and mobilized for deployment to Iraq.

This is what killed them, more often than not. I saw plenty of such videos but you didn't--they never made it on the national media. There was the claim of sensitivity to family's feelings (as has recently erupted about a photojournalist's photo of a dying Marine from Afghanistan) and, I suspect, a concern about the negative impact that such photos from Vietnam had had and a fear that the same would happen again.

It's still going on: every week, I scan the list of casualties published in the Army Times and IEDs top the list of causes.

I didn't watch the clip here, and so maybe I missed something. But I vacillate between sadness and anger when I even see a such a mention.
