I remember seeing incredible graphic footage from Vietnam and even from Desert Storm when I was growing up.  But these days, all I see is a couple of sanitized pictures if even that.

What happened to the footage of IEDs, sweeps, and even the "surge?"

Shouldn't the public be able to see what's going on?

Well, when we left, we were told that we were not allowed to have any graphic pictures and if we did, then we would get in trouble...

I have a few short clips of bad stuff, but nothing I would want to share, besides, most of it can be seen on orkish.com or some site like that.

I'm not sure about the "surge" footage, there is probably some bad stuff, I know I have heard some stories. My first tour over there we came in right after the surge (Close enough that some of the tanks were still burning). I would bet there is some footage out there but I havn't seen much of it at all. For the record, we had a media team embedded with us.
