Reapers in Ramadi - Introduction

A fantastic video that chronicles the 15-month tour of a platoon in the U.S. Armys premiere combat unit - The Third Infantry Division. Follow these soldiers as they enter what was called "the most dangerous city in the world", Ramadi, in the heart of Al Anbar province of Iraq in 2007. Watch in awe as "Anbar Awakening" and "The Surge" develop into a counterinsurgency success story that spreads across the entire country. Witness these soldiers as they then move to the desert north of Ramadi and in the Lake Thar Thar region to ensure that Al Qaeda in Iraq has no respite. A rare glimpse into the life and times of American soldiers in war as it can only be seen through their eyes.
