The video really hits you. :(

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- I was scrolling through the Pentagon's list of American troops killed in action in October, trying to determine how many deaths were caused by roadside bombs and how many by small-arms fire.
That's when I came across the name of Army Sgt. Willsun Mock, 23, of Harper, Kansas.
The realization that he died crashed down on me.
I flashed back to the moment that I saw the news release on October 22 of a "MND-B soldier killed by roadside bomb in eastern Baghdad. The name of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of the next of kin." A colleague had said at the time: "That's 11 this weekend."
Number 11 was Mock, a soldier I met in the fall of 2004.
