This is a clip from the danish documentary “armadillo” about the danish forces operating in Iraq. English subtitles has been added. In some cases, they might not be 100% accurate, since it’s hard to tell what the soldiers are saying under fire.

Cine Politics takes a glance at the “Armadillo”; a documentary from the Danish filmmaker Janus Metz, released earlier 2010. It is a film on the topic of war and sensibility through the eyes of Danish soldiers deployed for the first time in Afghanistan at the forward operating base “Armadillo”; a mere 800 yards from Taliban territory. Armadillo has generated great debate in Denmark, and shows some soldiers possibly breaching the rules of war.
A nice trick / glitch I found. Funny thou – I filmed this vid with my crappy digital-camera taped to my head

Armadillos are small placental mammals, known for having a leathery armor shell. The Dasypodidae are the only surviving family in the order Cingulata, part of the superorder Xenarthra along with the anteaters and sloths. The word armadillo is Spanish for “little armored one”. There are approximately 10 extant genera and around 20 extant species of armadillo, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armor. Their average length is about 75 centimeters (30 in), including tail; the Giant Armadillo grows up to 1.5 m (5 ft) and weighs 59 kg (130 lbs), while the Pink Fairy Armadillos are diminutive species with an overall length of 1215 cm (45 in). All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of environments. In the United States, the sole resident armadillo is the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), which is most common in the central southernmost states, particularly Texas. Their range is as far east as South Carolina and Florida and as far north as Nebraska; they have been consistently expanding their range over the last century due to a lack of natural predators and have been found as far north as Illinois, Indiana and southern Ontario.
Okay, so a few weeks back I saw a documentary on an animal that I thought looked amazing, and I’ve been trying to show this animal to my family. Its sort of small and looks “reptilian”. It reminds me of a porcupine except with hard plates instead of needles, or a armadillo maybe. Then when I looked in Highlights at the dentists office a while back, I saw him in their too. I cannot remember the name though for the life of me. I know they are endangered. It starts with a P or a Q, I think….. Any Ideas?
