<p>An associate of Punching Bag is a security consultant with the State Department in Afghanistan. He makes it a point to post articles he beleives ;reflects the real situation in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, sorting through the noise of the mainstream media.</p>
<p>This particular video is not news, but it does illustrate the sudden and devastating power of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). ;</p>
<p>Watch this full screen if you dare, but if you are sensitive you may want to skip it.  ;This comes with a note from the original post:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;John A Diefenbach  ;What is an IED?</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Keep your eye on the large truck without headlights on the top left ;corner coming towards you. It looks like it is going slow to allow the ;military trucks, headlights on, behind him to pass. THIS is the type of ;explosion that our troops are dealing with, not the puny kind you see on ;television or the movies. PRAY for our troops.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
