In Micheal Moores movie Farenheight 911, some young American soilders in Iraq said they crank the tunes and shoot away, not unlike the video games they grew up with at home, except it is real.
Is this true?

Yup, they crank up the tunes. They also use Metal and rap to annoy the enemy and bring moral to the soldiers. If I had to drive around in the desert for 20 hours a day I'd want some freakin' tunes too. By the way, Micheal Moore is a whiny little snively coward. He likes to turn the truth around and use it to his own advantage (I don't agree with the things the Bush administration has done either but we don't need to lie to make it worse). Screw him!!

If they do they are going to get themselves killed. War requires your absolute attention. I cannot imagine going into battle with the radio playing tunes. I think some vet handed Michael Moore some BS. Just because the guy is a vet does not mean he can't be a liar too.

Don't know have to ask a soldier under military possibly. One thing I do know is that 99% of what Michael Moore says is usually a lie, or has been turned out of context so bad it is not anything like the real story.

Although interesting, Micheal Moore twists things out of perspective. I think that it's probably true that they listen to music in the jeeps. I doubt they think of it like a video game though.

Micheal Moore is a fat no-name liberal director, that nobody ever heard of, he shocked everyone to get noticed. We had already seen him in "Star Wars", as "Jabba the Hut", he's a Moron that plays on the weak minded, much like the clintons did. Where do you think he got the idea from ? He was their "BUDDIE" and did'nt want the truth to point to the clintons. It does'nt matter, history books will reveal this as clinton's screw up.

While I do not have first hand knowledge, I am inclined to say no. Simply because when you are fighting in a tank, communication is key, with all of the background noise, engine, etc. communication can be difficult. To add music to that would seem illogical.

Technically it is possible to do this - but once you go 'outside the wire' you focus on the job you are doing.
BTW - don't believe anything Michale Moore says.
