ABC News: A Provocative Look at Soldiers' Lives in Iraq

And what are the three things they pick to show and talk about?

Three National Guard soldiers from New Hampshire were given their own cameras and asked to record a year Iraq. The more than 800 hours of video they recorded resulted in a film,"The War Tapes," which took the documentary feature award at the recent New York Tribeca Film Festival.

Specialist Mike Moriarty was one of the three soldiers — he signed up after 9/11. "That was like somebody hitting my house," Moriarty said to the camera. "I had to do something about it."

But Sgt. Zack Bazzi — born in Lebanon, fluent in Arabic — is dubious about America's intentions in Iraq.

"[Expletive] the oil man, [expletive] it," he said. "It's not worth it. I'll even drive a Honda Insight."

And Sgt. Steve Pink was a dedicated keeper of eloquently wrenching diaries.

"I looked down at his hand dangling from the exposed bone that used to be his elbow," he said, "like a safety-clipped mitten dangling from his winter coat."
