  • One of the more fascinating and terrifying things to come out of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are the self-made videos posted by soldiers. The were the first two wars to occur in the YouTube age, and thus the first two wars that were able to be broadcast thousands of miles across the world into people’s living rooms – uncut.
