What's of interest inside it?

This is really the entire war and it includes nearly every military event that has occurred. So it includes all the small things that are not normally reported but that actually result in the civilian casualties and the troop kills. For example, a man is seen digging a road, troops think he is an insurgent placing an IED. They shout, he runs away, they try to shoot him, he runs away, then they fire some mortars. The mortar overshoots, hits a village and kills a five year old boy. The material was full of things like that. Similarly, troops are in a field, they see some unexploded ordnance. They could leave it alone or shoot it with their guns but for some reason, probably because they're bored, they call in an airstrike. Just a single shell. The bomb comes in, hits a village, 17 people go off to hospital. Then there are also the big events - so operation Medusa, late 2006. 181 people killed at once, most by an AC 130 gunship - a big airplane with canons fixed on the side, circling and shooting.
