Oh yeah, and I found a couple of videos that are pretty crazy. Turn your sound on
for both of these.  The first is apparently of private "security contractors" in Iraq
(read: mercenaries)
and has led to a fair bit of controversy:

The second is just really cool:

Despite what the url would suggest it is not a martial art video.

Happy New Year!
