In the category of 'US Soldiers Abusing Their Power', we have a video of some soldiers who use a tank to crush an Iraqi's car. The YouTuber who posted the video describes, "These people stole some wood, so they paid the price for it by having their Car crushed, pretty harsh stuff."
Implications - The war in Iraq has been going on for quite some time, yet people from other parts of the world are still very fascinated by what is happening. Posting YouTube videos of somewhat disturbing images is a hint that a large part of society is obsessed with crime, war and destruction. Businesses take a positive spin on war videos to spread awareness about current situations.
