  1. It offers a much needed personal perspective on a subject that is too often reduced to political arguments.
  2. Severe Clear provides a view of the early days of the war and reminds you of all the promotion and idealism that conflict came with.
  3. His first-person perspective is unexpectedly frank as he shares some extremely dark moments -- spurred by increasing anger and doubt -- that civilians rarely get to see.
  4. 38
    Much of this footage might have been illuminating, even fascinating, in 2003. But seven years on, it's ancient history lacking insight, hindsight or a fresh take.
