I just saw like 8-min. long footage of a firefight in Baghdad on MSNBC from earlier today.. freakin hardcore man. Looked like something out of a movie but it was the real deal. There was no reporter, just a cameraman that was along with this unit that had orders to take over a few intersections in the city.. they got ambushed and all hell broke loose for like 5 hours. You could hear the fire going back and forth, guys running around.. "AMMO, AMMO!!" "MEDIC!" they were carrying a guy back to the medic station on a stretcher and he was firing his rifle laying down cover *from his stretcher* as they ran him out.. jesus. A supply convoy came in to resupply them with ammo and fuel and the iraqis hit a couple of the trucks with RPGs.. all the ammo inside started cooking off right next to fuel truck.. nasty fight.
