U.S. troops in Afghanistan make hilarious spoof mimicking Miami Dolphins cheerleaders' video of Call Me Maybe
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 15:20 EST, 22 November 2012
It's hard to believe that the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders could be outshone - but it looks like a group of fun-loving soldiers in Afghanistan might have done it.
Call Me Maybe by Carly-Rae Jepsen was turned into a music video by the cheerleaders in August, with the ladies splashing around in a swimming pool, writhing on the beach and waving pom-poms.
Earlier this month, the soldiers gave them a run for their money with dance moves and lip synching making do with props from their Afghanistan base.

By Kieran Nicholson
The Denver Post
A video recording of a firefight in Afghanistan posted online by a Fort Carson soldier has gone viral, logging nearly 20 million views since it was uploaded to YouTube on Sept. 26.
Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was wounded in the 25-minute exchange of gunfire in Kunar province April 25, recorded the battle using a helmet-mounted camera. He serves with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry, the "Mountain Warriors." He received the Purple Heart, according to Maj. Christopher D. Thomas, a public-affairs officer for the brigade.
Daniels was the only soldier wounded during the exchange. He was able to rejoin his unit and return to the forward operating base. He was treated for his wounds and returned to duty.
Daniels is now stateside. He could not be reached for comment.
The firefight started when two or three insurgents opened fire on a U.S. patrol.

PTSD: 'All you've got left are these pieces'
A country song about PTSD: 'All you've got left are these pieces'
By Bill Briggs
NBC News contributor
Everything you see in the music video happened to Marine-turned-country-singer Stephen Cochran: Pushing the girl away, boozing into oblivion, the gun on the blanket. It all went down last year.
Stephen Cochran, a former Marine recon scout and now a country-music singer, has penned a new song about PTSD - combat-related symptoms that almost claimed his life in 2011.
Even the actor who portrays Cochran is, himself, a former Marine and Iraq veteran who knows of post-traumatic stress, who has wrangled with identical demons. The actor was not acting.

Actors shocked by what "Bacile" did to movie
Who is Sam Bacile? Mystery swirls around anti-Islam film
By Moni Basu and Chelsea J. Carter
CNN
Thu September 13, 2012
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
A man who identified himself as Sam Bacile says he is responsible for the movie
A CNN search of public records turns up no information about the man
Bacile is a pseudonym, says an anti-Muslim activist who worked on the film
The cast and crew of the movie say their original lines are dubbed
(CNN) -- The murky account of a man who says he is responsible for a film that ridiculed the Prophet Mohammed is raising questions about everything -- from his identity to the production.
In telephone calls with news agencies, a man identifying himself as Sam Bacile said he was the man who made the movie that roiled the Islamic world.
In Egypt and Libya, mobs targeted U.S. missions and blamed America for the film. In the end, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans in the Libyan city of Benghazi were dead, though it is not clear whether the attack was solely incited by the film.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bacile identified himself as a 52-year-old Israeli-American real estate developer from California.

But the 80 cast and crew members involved in the making of the movie said they were "grossly misled" about its intent. "The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer," they said in a statement to CNN. They said they were "shocked by the drastic rewrites of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."

Soldier in hazing video disciplined
Soldier who hit colleague with wooden mallet is disciplined
By Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube
NBC News
An online video showing a U.S. soldier hitting a soldier of a lower rank in the chest with a wooden mallet has prompted shock and outrage -- and, ultimately, disciplinary action.
The incident took place in April 2012 at Fort Bragg, N.C. The video shows a sergeant first class striking Sgt. Phillip Roach, 22, slamming him into the wall behind him. Roach stumbles and then collapses to the floor, hitting his head on a nearby chair. The video ends there, but Roach's father says that after the camera stopped rolling, his son suffered a seizure.
Why would Roach stand quietly by as a fellow soldier slams a large wooden object into his chest? It is actually an extreme version of a promotion ceremony tradition.

Dogs welcome home Military Dads
As a dog lover, (ok, I love my daughter's cat too) there is nothing like having them rush to greet you when you come home after you've been gone for a couple of hours. Can't imagine what it was like for the dogs in these videos to see their Dads after so long. I wonder how long it took them to really calm down.
Hope you enjoyed the videos. This is Mac. He only lasted a year when he ended up with distemper after we adopted him.
This is Harry. We adopted him right after Mac died. He's a handful now that he's a year old and 80 pounds of pure muscle. We know he is part Rottweiler and Hound. Lord only knows what else is in him but he is very lovable.

3 faithful pets race from the house to give their master a hero’s welcome.

Talk about a hero's welcome.
A U.S. Marine got an overwhelmingly touching reception from his three dogs when he returned home from a two-month training session.
A YouTube video shows the unidentified soldier sitting in his backyard as his trio of four-legged friends come bounding through the house's backdoor in excitement.

I had happy tears watching this because of the Golden Retrievers. This is Brandon. He was almost 14 when we had to let him go. He was very sick. He was and always will be my baby.
The video was also mentioned in the article.

To say that our boxer, Chuck, was excited to see him come home is an understatement. (And if you're wondering why it says "again" it is because we went through this a year ago as well. That video is also posted.)
Hope you enjoyed the videos. This is Mac. He only lasted a year when he ended up with distemper after we adopted him.

Marine Launches Winery Helping Fellow Veterans
Marine Launches Winery Helping Fellow Veterans

August 26, 2012
LIVERMORE (CBS13) – From fighting for our country to fighting to find work, it’s a battle many veterans face when they return home.
After getting out of the military, several men and woman say it’s hard to find a job, but now a group of veterans have found a way to help other vets, with wine.
Like a lot of veterans, when Josh Laine was discharged from the military, he wasn’t quite sure what to do.
He was dating a girl who worked in the wine industry and thought, ‘hey I can do this.’
The thing is, he didn’t know anything about making wine. So, he turned to the same place you turn to for silly cat videos, YouTube.
“We are known as the YouTube winery, a lot of studying YouTube, studying online, reading books,” said Laine.
He took that knowledge plus $1,500, and he and 10 of his marine buddies created Livermore’s Valor Winery.

When Marine Sergeant Josh Laine returned from fighting in Iraq to his native Livermore, California, he couldn't find a job anywhere. When a girlfriend got him into wine, he decided to take a crack at winemaking and Lavish Laines Winery was born. The winery has since become a place where any returning veteran can find a job, camaraderie, and a sense of purpose. The film follows Josh and his fellow vets as they try to take the winery from a garage startup to a fully-fledged operation, and in the process explores the challenges vets face in transitioning back to civilian life.
In addition to screening in the Documentary Short Film program, No Wine Left Behind will be featured in a program of films honoring Veterans Day at the Lincoln Theater, Friday Nov 11 at 11am. Winemaking vets from Lavish Laines will be in attendance and offering their wine for tasting! This is part of a FREE program for everyone in the festival community.

Marines use social media the same way everybody else does, said Sgt. Mark Fayloga, Headquarters Marine Corps head of Social Media. Through Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Hi5, MySpace, Flickr, Reddit and many more, Marines connect and interact with people and ideas across a wide variety of avenues.
Social media gives people numerous ways to share any detail of their lives. The military community has used those resources to blog about their wartime experiences. YouTube videos have landed Marines dates and brought smiles back home through groups’ renditions of popular songs matched to complicated choreography.
Questions can be posted and answered by not only everyone in the Marines’ social network, but their friends’ social networks as well. They can find people willing to share their experience about a duty station, a job or a temporary additional billet such as recruiter or Drill Instructor.
“(With social media) you can be the voice of the Marine Corps,” said Fayloga. “You can share your story.”
Social media can serve as a soapbox to present information and opinions, or it can provide an interactive experience to can help clarify misinformation.
However, it’s very important to cite sources, said Capt. Joshua Smith, the Deputy Public Affairs Officer of Marine Corps Installation East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Without proper citation it’s just an opinion, he added.
Social media can also make anyone a micro-journalist, said Smith.

Two YouTube PTSD videos worth watching
There are so many PTSD videos out there now that it is really hard to pick a couple out to highlight. Here are two of them. One is about how Tom Skerritt is going to be teaching a writing class to veterans to help them heal by writing what they can't talk about. The other is about meditation from David Lynch Foundation.
Both of them are pretty good but as with anything else, they do not work for everyone. If what you need is still not happening for you, keep looking for what works for you. Just try to be careful about what you find online. I just went through about 5 pages of YouTube videos and only found two that were worth posting on.

Well thats great that these POG’s [Persons Other than Grunts] are making music videos while me and other real Marines are fighting a war. I lost my leg in Afghan last August which I am glad to have done my duty for 9 years untill i was wounded but the fact of the matter is we like so many other combat arms Marines were on a PB [patrol base] with no power no a/c no running water because logistics could not get proper equiptment to us…… But these Marines are the ones that could get it to us and there making a stupid music video what a joke. And these Marines are the one that will be the ones telling war stories in the bar.

Iraq veterans take to YouTube to talk about PTSD
Iraq veteran uses rap to treat his PTSD
By Cristina Silva
The Associated Press
Posted : Tuesday May 15, 2012
LAS VEGAS — On one of the many days Leo Dunson wanted to die, the Iraq veteran put a gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The loaded weapon misfired. For the troubled former soldier, it was another inexplicable failure, like his divorce or inability to make friends after returning from the war.
In a Las Vegas recording studio, Dunson rapped about his life: "What's wrong with me? Got PTSD. These pills ain't working, man, I still can't think."
One in six Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder in 2011, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some committed suicide. Others are receiving mental health services at military hospitals. Many more are like Dunson and have refused help, according to research by the Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for PTSD.
Dunson, who was discharged from the Army in 2008 and diagnosed by the military with PTSD, uses his music to examine his disappointment with veteran life. It is the only thing keeping him alive, he said. He refuses to attend counseling or visit his local VA hospital.
The use of music to heal war wounds is part of an emerging field of alternative treatment being embraced by military officials eager to help veterans suffering from PTSD. In Wisconsin, New Jersey, California and other states, government doctors in recent months have launched experimental music therapy programs that rely on the smoothing sounds of classical or acoustic music to help veterans get well.

Naomi Wolf calls Katy Perry video propaganda
When it comes to FOX cable news, it is no secret how I feel about them. In this case, they proved me right again. The title of this article is "Left Calls for..." and not just "Naomi Wolf."
I am an Independent because I have issues with both sides. One lesson we should all learn from the people in the military is they manage to work together for a common cause and put each other above any political ties. I wish the media could manage to do the same.
Personally don't care about what Naomi Wolf has to say. I've read it before but it didn't change my mind about Katy Perry's video. I thought it was great when I posted it and I still do.
So why did FOX give Naomi Wolf more power than she deserves by suggesting she speaks for the "left" in this country? I have friends on both sides of politics and they never agree on anything politically but what they all agree on is their dedication to the men and women serving in the military today and the veterans of yesterday. If anything, there needs to be more "propaganda" like this to get people to pay attention to the sacrifices the troops make everyday!

Left Calls for Katy Perry Boycott Over Marine Video
March 30, 2012 LOS ANGELES –
Katy Perry transforms herself into a U.S. Marine in her latest power-pop single, "Part of Me," which addresses female empowerment and pays particular tribute to service women. However, at least one media type doesn't support Perry's Marines shout-out. Prominent feminist Naomi Wolf, author of "The Beauty Myth" and one of many who were arrested amid the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, is urging Americans to boycott the singer, labeling her video "a total piece of propaganda for the Marines." read more here

Marines say Katy Perry video is good publicity
Video features 80 Marines from Camp Pendleton
Written by
Jeanette Steele
Pop star Katy Perry is known for her blue hair and quirky videos.
When she wanted to get tough for her latest release, the young singer picked up an M-16 and trained with actual Marines at Camp Pendleton.
Perry’s “Part of Me” video, released Wednesday, was shot over three days in February at Pendleton’s Camp Horno area and at Red Beach, the sandy stretch off Interstate 5 where Marines practice maneuvers.
It’s likely the first major music video to be shot at a Marine base, officials say.

One more in a series of projects done for Valencia College Digital Media. As usual it is about the troops. A friend and classmate volunteered for this along with her boyfriend and her son. Erika was in the Army and her boyfriend Rick just wanted to do something for the troops. The "older son" Richie also jumped at the opportunity to do something for the troops as well. The music is "Dance With My Father" so get ready for some weepy eyes.
