I had forgotten about this as it seems like ages ago but only last April. A company called PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) which I think is a US Govt sponsored or funded organisation spent some time with us here in Iraq and did some filming of some of our guys doing some training, moving thier filming team around to our 'place' and towards the end of the first segment called 'The Private Side of War' there is some footage of one of our teams in the North getting ambushed by a roadside bomb and quite heavy, small arms fire, then the aftermath of that particular incident. One of our contract bosses Andy is interviewed and asked some pretty gruelling questions and I think he coped quite well. Below is the link to Andys interview:

This link is:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/
the link to the front page of the PBS article, then click on watch the full article on line and most of the stuff on my particular group is Chapter One. There are four different chapters to have a look around. We also appear in the last chapter as PBS chose us to get them to the airport down Route Irish at the end of thier visit. It's all public domain stuff and nothing cloak and dagger.
I don't know if Lightemup has seen these clips, so it will be of interest to him I am guessing.
Hope it works for you! I think this will answer most of your questions in regard to the orginal statement of this particular thread. Be good.
