Looking for a video created by a DUer (I think)...
Hi all. Some time ago, maybe even as long as two years, someone here posted an amaing music video s/he'd created to accompany what I believe was an original song or poem. The song was slow and beautiful, written from the perspective of a soldier who had seen horrors and wasn't certain why he was being asked to kill and possibly die. The video was basically a slideshow that zoomed in on war photographs, including an Iraqi woman crying over a loved one, and a soldier who looked angry/shellshocked. (I'm pretty sure the video ended on a closeup of his face.)

Okay, I know this probably describes 25% of all anti-war videos, heh. But this one was intensely powerful and very popular -- I remember it was mentioned on Mike Malloy's show and probably others too, and the original thread about the video got hundreds of responses here. Pretty sure it was before we had a video forum.

Sorry I don't remember more. Does anyone know what I might be thinking of?

3. Found it! "No Bravery..."
Thanks to the above posters. But I found it elsewhere -- not sure who created it, but it's called "No Bravery," to a James Blunt song, and is linked at
Huffington Post. Anyone know who's responsible for this awesome piece of work?
