You might want to add in a statement about your deep respect and admiration for the troops, though. To add in even more of that good ol' fashioned American [self-]righteousness you could even, in a senseless spat of litigiousness, DMCA yourself and have the video removed from whatever third-party site you decide to post it on. Oh, and disclaimer . . . I'm an American. Anyhow, I'll go back to lurking.
