   Interesting “more info” from the people who posted this on YouTube:

   “Operation: Rock The Casbah” by the 2-3 Mafia. One of the ORIGINAL Combat Dancing videos. Filmed Feb-Apr 2007 East Baghdad, Iraq. 3rd Squad, 2nd Platoon, 46th MP Company, 759th MP BN, 89th MP BDE. All soldiers participating made it back safely.

   That said:

   1) We do NOT recommend imitating this in OIF or OEF theater! Our friends were getting hurt or killed, we saw civilians killing other civilians, and we were on the brink of losing our minds when we decided to start dancing in strange places!

   2) Baghdad was a very dangerous and dreadful place then, we just tried make it a little cheerier, even if for only a moment. So don’t take this to be evidence of “everything was always party over there”

   3) This squad worked their asses off to serve and protect neighborhoods in their Baghdad AO. Stupid comments posted about us “killing civilians” will be deleted. Never happened. Quite the opposite actually.

   Good thing I didn’t use the alternate title: Army of One Fun
