small black and white video of a much larger issue. following the apache incident, specialist mccord served for eight more months in iraq before he was wounded in this ied explosion. i learned how to live without a lot of things in iraq. when i looked in and i saw those children, the one thing i couldn t live without was my own humanity. i couldn t self-justify what i was doing in iraq anymore. what we as a nation were doing in iraq. i had to refigure out who i was as a human being and what i wanted out of life. and what legacy i was going to leave for my children. i struggle every day, every day i struggle. this is a situation where we could and should have done a better job of protecting innocent life because this is not only a war of territory, of physical destruction, this is a
on the channel we do a lot of experiments and that sort of thing and this is one of those. we have three spray paint cans tied together with some sparklers. we re going to light the sparklers. chunk the spray paint cans up in the air with this duct tape rope then try to shoot them with the bird shot from the shotgun which will blow up the spray paint cans. the sparklers will light the paint and it will make a big fireball in theory. huh. that s the plan. fire in the hole! thing about experiments is they re all based on trial and error. apparently when you re looking to make a fireball, fourth of july sparklers just abiliin t g to cut it. looks like we should have got flares. do you want some flares? you got some? if at first you don t succeed, bigger is always better. we re doubling up on paint cans

it s gone. this is going to go right here. anybody i think who s sick of television is going to appreciate this. now, a shrink might conclude my latent desire to blow up a television is indicative of a subconscious disappointment with what the medium s become and the benal predictable so common in so many of today s hit shows. well, that s just silly. pull this handle yep. back and that will be it. this gun is loud just like the air .15. i ve always wanted to do this. fire in the hole. nope. nothing metaphor call going on here at all. no misseeded misdirected rage of an industry hard wired to suck the life out of those attempting to create a truly authentic
