I am glad that people like the show and I hope to put out another book telling even more about Bad Voo Doo Platoon. This will come soon if we get some of the things worked out.
The boys are all cozy in our “new” tents enjoying the close comfort of 10 men in close proximity. Its amazing how spoiled we are when you think about it. We moved to different tents and we got less in number and smaller in size. It was a tough move because we had become very comfortable in our 8 man tents. We don’t spend a lot of time in them but its home none the less. We have AC and there is limited power and each of us get about 4’ X 6’ of space so its not all bad.
Its is also going to be a little more difficult to roll around with our low profile now since we are on a lot of peoples radar but that’s life right. Bad Voo Doo always walks tall. I guess we shall see what will come of this now that the Cats out the Bag. (funny thing, there must have been a pretty excited cat inside a bag in everyone’s life to understand what that means)

I just wanted you to know that the video I way on April 1st was hard to watch but I think it has changed my view of life forever. I am so amazed at the amazing things you guys do. It is really beyond my imagination. To see it in video is like getting another whole sense. Like another set of eyes! This will stay with me for my whole life and I will keep every single one of you in thought and prayer every day. Please know how awesome this video really is! Much gratitude and thanks for all you have done!
I want to make a donation to the Bad Voodoo beer & burger fund. I'm serious.
Sarge,
THANK YOU for your service to our country and to the families at home. Having spent 2 tours in Vietnam I can somewhat relate to you, but as a Father of someone who was doing what you guys are now, I thank you for giving us all the insight of "THE JOB". My son spent 16 months doing convoy duty with the "Red Bulls" but has been very mum as to what it all entailed. It was good to see some of the spots he was in and the excitement (possibly a poor choice of words) of the drive. For us families, the biggest worry is not knowing and you have provided us the knowledge that will make it easier. Thank you again, keep your head down, your powder dry and your knife sharp. GOD BLESS
SFC Nunn: Great to see your post today. I'm very proud of you and your men and I hope that any worry felt by your wife or any family is somewhat mitigated by the great need you filled in telling Bad Voodoo's story. We badly need to hear what you all have to say.
Good luck on the new tent setup. I suppose this gives the term "sleep tight" a whole new meaning for you guys. Ya'll are the best.
I just watched the show for the first time, And look forward to any follow ups..
Get yourself and the "joe's" home safe and try to put this all behind you!
Sfc Nunn you are doing a fine job leading your men!
VooDoo platoon makes me proud to be an American!
Keep your head low and don't forget to put on your buckets.
God Bless
I was riveted to Bad Voodoo's story and thank you very much for agreeing to film your lives while in Iraq. Another score for Frontline to be sure.
I wanted to know what you all think about the change of mission in Iraq now? It seems since 2005 going forward, the military is increasingly being used to guard private contractors or run missions for them. The war now seems to me less about oil and more about companies (from food and services to private soldiers (read mercenaries) in theater) profiteering from lucrative contracts. I know all war is about money but this just seems beyond surreal.
I was apalled when Bad Voodoo had to wait 8 hours in the baking desert for KBR (which never came) to help fix a vehicle partially destroyed by an IED. The fact that a passing convoy guarded by another U.S. Army unit was the group that helped you guys is more than telling. I was further shocked when SFC Nunn was able to timeline the placement of an IED, linking it to none other than the Iraqi Army/police.
Given the events in Basra over the past two weeks and the fact that Shite militas are still able to challenge the fledgling Maliki government fairly effectively, what's the best role for U.S. forces there in your opinion? It really can't be to guard assets of private companies that are making a buck off this war, at least to me, while you guys risk your lives the way you have been doing for almost a year now.
The American people really just have no clue what's going on over there - still! Thank you for illuminating the mystery a bit for us. You guys rock and wish you a speedy return to the U.S.
Greetings from the 1-121. Cangratualtions to Bad VoDoo, this piece is incredible. We think of you often. More than you can know it feels for many of us as if each day when we wake up part of us is still there, just like it was the day before we left the mission to you. You have done an amazing thing here. In months of trying to describe what we went through to others, you have captured it all. I just finished watching the web version. Each moment seemed as if I was there again. Stay strong and viligant, protect your men as you have done so well this long and return. The Lethal Bn is proud to have served beside you.
Cdr, 1-121 FA
I just want to thank you for all you do. We really appreciate it. You are not forgotten.

Great show, SFC Nunn. Keep up the great work and thank you for my freedom. Keep your eyes open and bring all your men home safe soon. We miss you.
Dear Sfc. Nunn,
The show was excellent. I wish I could make some of the apologists I work with sit and watch it, along with Bush's War and other great work Frontline has done regarding the wars in Iraq and Afganistan. But, open minds are hard to come by here in Kansas.
I'm only slightly less angry now than I was just after watching Bad VooDoo's War. That's probably why my comment wasn't posted Tuesday night. No profanity or lunacy, just possibly a bit of a rant.
However, I have a question for you and your men.
How do you feel about being part of a tiny minority of Americans who are asked to carry the full load of this war alone while the rest of us shop and bitch about the price of gas?
I think that it was wrong for this country to have initiated this unecessary war. Many Americans waved the flag and banged the war drums, buying every flimsy excuse for invading Iraq without much question. These same people declined to do what you and your men have so admirably done by volunteering to serve in combat. They stay home and listen to Rush Limbaugh, and complain about those of us who don't approve of the President.
Also, I have heard that one of the consequences of an all-volunteer military, whether intended or not, is that most Americans outside of the military are disconnected from the war to the extent that they can go about their business largely unaware of it, and unaffected by it.
This allows our government to engage in military actions without having to deal with the mass protests that occurred during Viet Nam, when many more people were exposed to military service through the draft. That war meant a lot more to people, since there was a good chance that many of them could get drafted. Now, without the draft, we don't have to worry about going to war if we don't want to. We can allow the government to send you without insisting on sufficient justification, as we have done in the case of Iraq.
I think that's immoral, and I'd like to know if there are any thoughts on this from your end.
I have the utmost respect for you, and all our people over there. There are a lot of things wrong with this country, especially the last 7 years, but you guys represent the best of America. I wish there was something I could do to get you all home.

Very moving and wonderful show.. As a wife of an active duty military guy who isn't fighting in the war...We support each and everyone of you..its time to come home it is not our war!!!!! Keep up the voice, we pray that everyone comes home safe to their families. Stay strong, stay safe. Please keep the news and your voice coming to the states...it needs to be said!!!!!!!!!!
I watched the show again last night. Thank you for your service.
I won't get into the politics of this crap; I think we all have pronounced feelings about what's going on.
I just wanted to express my respect for you guys. I'm not a soldier, so I won't deign to salute you; that wouldn't be appropriate action in my mind.
But please know that I do convey my deepest acknowledgment and appreciation of your efforts.
Hope you're all home soon, healthy.
Thanks for the insiders view of this insanity.It was actually comforting, as strange as it may sound, to see you guys tell it like it is from where you are.You are there, not in some frggin hotel room or roof.
Our son is there, an infantryman driving a humvee, he's a scout near Rustamiyah, now he's in Satr city area.They don't have the "freedoms" of using their laptops and puters they had just a month ago, but I will forward this link so they can also check it out, maybe?
We will be waiting for your reports to come in and pray to Jesus that you all make it home safe and sound.You are all heroes to us.! Thanks again. God Bless
Hi, I watched the show with my husband today, having recorded it when it was shown. I have been obsessed for some time with reading Iraq war books and watching all I can on television. I think it was a very good thing you guys did to let us see such an intimate portrait of what you are going through. I am proud of all of you soldiers and your great personal sacrifice in a war that I do not agree with. Having said that, I fully support the troops. My dear nephew was in Ramadi in April 2003 with the 3rd ACR from Ft Carson, CO. My family understands sacrifice as my husband's only sibling; his brother Alan died in Vietnam-- another stupid war.
I pray for your safety and for your return to your families. All the best to you all. Jane
"Frontline" is must-see TV for the husband and I and we were especially glad we caught "Bad Voo Doo's War" Tuesday night. Amazing footage!
I simply cannot imagine what you all and your families, and every other member of the military and their families, endure during war time deployments. I feel for you all and pray for this war to be over very soon and for you all to return home safely.
We greatly appreciate your selfless service and courage.
Godspeed "Bad Voo Doo", and all our military personnel.
Sfc. Nunn,
I really enjoyed the Frontline documentary and pray that all of you all return safely to your families and loved ones.
Take care of yourselves, keep your heads down and your powder dry. If you are ever in Maine, look me up and I'll buy you and your family a lobster dinner!

You guys have my love and prayers. I was in Iraq from 1990 to 1991. I was a motor pool sgt on the go all the time. Always out on a mission with my wrecker. All in all I served 7 plus months of my life and at that I was forthy-five years old.
I've been following you and the guy since the program aired. It brings back a lot memories. I don't know if you guys are getting the message you have undoubtingly have a lot of support here in the USA.
War is never in a true soldier's dream; a true soldier dreams of peace. I'll be back on 4/4 0715 EST If you need anything please tell me.
Tell the guys I am with them in spirit and mind 24/7. I they need anything done back here say the word.
Love your Buddy Mike L (Lama Tango One out)
Yes the cat is indeed out of the bag!! You must be amazed by the response you are receiving. I have taken the time to read most of the comments that have been posted and I am thankful they are positive and very supportive. What you have done is to show the Banker, the Lawyer, the Construction Worker, the Truck Driver and everyone else what a day in your work life is all about. I hope they look at what you all have to go thru before they come home and complain about their crappy day..
I wish this could be made mandatory viewing for everyone who lives in this country.. Perhaps they would then appreciate what freedoms they have, and those who defend them.. Too many people who live here could care less about what you are doing over there... Out of sight .. out of mind.. They are not there so they don't care. It does not affect them. Again please accept my thanks, admiration, and appreciation for your dedication to duty... J. Taylor Stockton Ca.
I just watched your Frontline episode and all I can say is God Bless You, all of you in Bad Voodoo and every man and woman serving in the military. My father is a decorated combat pilot from World War Two, and in talking to him and the surviving members of his fighter group (in his squadron of 25, 22 were killed or captured), the thing that has always struck me as amazing and and truly humbling, also came accross clearly in your video diaries. You, Sfc. Nunn, Spc. Shaw and I'm sure everyone in the platoon is genuinely unaware that what you are doing (or have done) is in any way extraordinary. I have seen the look on many combat veterans faces when I have thanked them for their service, and each is always the same. Surprise. They (and you, I suspect) don't feel that they have done anything that anyone else they served with didn't do. It was what was expected. But it is also something selfless and shows a spirit that should be honored and the country should be greatful for. I know that you will say that you are there for your buddies and you don't want to (or can't) let them down, but you are also there for us, We The People. You are appreciated, and you are loved by strangers you will never now or meet. Remember that and be safe. Thank you and God Bless You.
The cat sure is out of the bag. I've been inundating my friends and family the link to your Frontline episode. More people need to see story of the real men fighting the war.
Thanks again for your service and stay safe.
Sgt. Nunn,
Thank you first and foremost for your service to our country. The documentary you shot for Frontline was an amazing piece of journalism. So many times on the nightly news we hear things about Iraq and may think about them for a moment and then go about daily life. The Bad Voodoo Company made this war more real than it has felt in a long time. Your emotion, heart, and vulnerability have made this war, this awful gut wrenching war more real. You are not forgotten over there and I will be checking your blog posts and such to make sure you all make it home safely. Thank you Sgt. Nunn for being brave enough to put this experience into words, thoughts, and feelings. You are a true American hero.
Warmest Wishes and Thank You,
Stephanie Wolf
Dear Sfc. Nunn,
I am so impressed with your professionalism, humility, and ability to function under such pervasive stress, as well as that of your platoon. I am a civilian who had the honor of working in Afghanistan for the past year with the U.S. military, but your story gave me an even better understanding of what various parts of the military do and how much you sacrifice to do it. While I have personal opinions about the broader mission, your leadership and your platoon's courage are inspiring. I wish you a safe deployment and a quick journey home to your family.
Sincerely,
G. Biery
SGT Nunn, so glad to hear from you again! You have change my life, stay safe, and come home soon. Tammy DeBlaay Fort Worth, Texas
Hi, Sfc Nunn and all of Bad Voodoo. Very nice work on your part and very innovative on part of the Deborah Scranton. It's gripping stuff and all of you should be commended for showing everyone something of what you are going through.
I was embedded for six weeks as a reporter in Iraq, and on one patrol I went on, the crew's commander told me he was worried about having the distraction of having a reporter along. I took that pretty soberly. Now, did this approach make that any easier, or were any of you worried about the distraction caused by the cams? Or was that a non-issue?
Thanks, and keep your heads on a swivel.
Ben
I just wanted to say that I was very extremely amazed by what you guys do. I was scared just watching the video of you guys transporting equipment. I am a driver in MI on the interstates which can't even come close to the driving you guys do. You all did a great job on the video and I just would like to say THANK YOU for the service you do to our country. I support you all and God bless!
Frontline always represents what is strong and true in journalism and this video you all put together is no exception. I was on the edge of my seat as the convoy drove down the road. I gained not only strong insight, but also a far greater appreciation for the risks you are all taking every day in our name. I think we, those of us at home, need things like this to help keep us truly informed. Also, the sense of brotherhood you conveyed truly reflects a higher aspect of our humanity. Thank you very much for this timely document. May you all return home safely.
We owe you a great debt.
Alan
Sgt. Nunn,
You and your guys give a whole new meaning "Reality TV".
Thank you for lifting the skirts of this Administration's war...although some of us already knew what would be found underneath. The politicians who put you there should be required to walk a mile in your boots and drive a lead vehicle at 2:30 am. It would be a humbling experience for certain.
All of us look forward to your safe return and to hearing from you again.
Julie Gammello, Columbus, OH
Thanks to all of you for sharing reality with us and making this war very personal. We are brought up to respect and appreciate the men and women who fight for our country but I feel like I know you and pray for the safe return of all of you. Thanks, also, to your families who are willing to share with us. You guys all did a great job of being real. I'll be keeping track of your stories. God Bless
I have a 14year son that has bragged on his uncle for three years since he served in the Army in Tikrit(2003-2004). But after we watched your life unfold before our eyes and he seen where his uncle was and you are everyday he has a whole different set of hero's. His uncle and all of you, along with every other man and woman in the military. We live in the middle of a cotton field but you all have a lot of RESPECT and LOVE from Arkansas. Thank you and your families for your sacrifices.Would be honored to shake your hands if I ever met you.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES

Hi SFC Nunn,
Just wanted to drop you a line... I really appreciate all that you and your fellow soliders do for us! This show proves even more the strength both mental and physical of a U.S. Soldier. I feel I can sleep safely at night knowly that men and women like you are in charge.
I'm not in the service, but I have worked with soldiers at Ft. Bliss in TX and am honored to have known them.
Again, thank you for all that you do and for sharing your story with us. May God Bless you and both your personal and military families. I wish you a safe return!
Sincerely,
Jen
Thank you sooo very much for this documentary. It not only helps all of America see what you are going through, it helps me have a better idea of what my boyfriend (who is currently fighting in Iraq) is seeing and doing every day. You are all so very admirable and I appreciate each and every one of you so very much. I just wish the rest of the country would watch this so they might actually understand how constantly difficult things are for you all and be greatful for it!! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers to keep you all safe both in the physical sense and the mental as well and will also pray for your families too!
SFC Nunn,
I just want to say I jsut got done watching your online show very impressive. It is like I was still there. I hope all is well w/ you guys. Looks like we did a decent job at training you guys. God Speed.

Sarge Nunn,
Thank you so much for sharing with us what you are dealing with in Iraq. My wife and I are very supportive of the troops in Iraq. We thank you so much for your service to our country! I am sorry that you have to deal with such a kloogy mission. You and your team deserve better. I am blown away by the courage of everyman on your team. Thank you for caring so much about all your son's that you are responsible for in Iraq!
God bless each and everyone on of you! Bad Voodoo rocks the house! You are in our prayers. Come home safe so we can buy you a drink!
Our deepest thanks!
Jason and Elizabeth Walker
I'm gearing up to head out to boot, and i am not going because i believe in this "war". I'm going because i believe in you. If i can make some difference in your lives or in anothers life there in Iraq, I have to! seeing what your having to do every day makes me wish i could be there to help lessen the load on all of you. God Bless and Please make it home to your family.

I just wanted to Thank You all for the work done. As a former KBR CC out of Anaconda 04-06, I know what you go through, dealing with stuborn civilians, TCN's, rules of engagement and knowing an IED is going to happen not if it's going too. Wish we could do something for you..... One thing I feel Goverment should do for all is have a direct phone line to states as civilians have, so that those damm phone charges are not so damm high. I feel the phone companies among others are screwing you all. Maybe with support of your fans we can make phone companies/ goverment do something for you. The Lord keep me safe n strong and will for you. No bad vibes your going to make it through.
God Bless

I was also riveted to the entire FRONTLINE show. What a different perspective you have shown the world! We, who are retired and have little connection with what is going on "over there", have a much clearer picture of this war. My respect for you, SFC Nunn, and your men is beyond words. I liked the piece where you said, "it is their country, and they don't want Bad Voodoo Company traveling their roads. . . I get it" Then the best part of you saluted the guards at the checkpoint. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Sfc Toby Nunn-
Well done! First, Mrs. Nunn, kiss those babies over and over even when they don't want it for they will be grown before you know it! Thank you for the sacrifice you have made.
Toby, my daughter is in love with a Stryker,
currently deployed in Iraq (2nd tour). I am addicted to finding any factual info. This video gave me insight! I previously stated in a comment that I had watched the video 4 times, add another one to that! I have looked into your eyes, all of you, and I see such honor, loyalty and love for your country! I can't speak for the public. I can't even speak for my family. I can only speak for this mom that thanks you from the bottom of my heart! I am so proud...I have checked out the extras online and patiently await updates.
Be Safe...
Greetings,
I sent you an email on April 2nd. I am following that up with this note to see how you and your guys are doing today. I know you can't possibly reply to all who contact you, but if you ever have a moment, it would be great to receive a quick note letting me know that all is well, relatively speaking, as I am what is commonly called, a 'worrier'.
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please pass my sentiments along to all.
Pamela
I MADE myself watch your show. I didn't want to. I want to be like many Americans and not think about what you soldiers are going thru over there. In reading thru the comments, I agree with many that we are over here comfortable, griping about the economy and all wrapped up in the presidential race. Meanwhile each of you is fighting for his/her life every day, separated from your families for a LONG time. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Get that PTSD treated, guys. My nephew took his own life after returning home due to undiagnosed PTSD. Don't go there. Get help.
I'm praying for you all.

SFC Nunn,
As a proud Canadian, I want to thank you for being so courageous and level headed. It takes a strong man to lead. It takes a stronger man to lead so well. Your platoon seems to be in very good hands.
I am a professional baker so I know about being in hot spaces, but the temps you are dealing with are atrocious.
Hopefully you will all return home, in one piece, safely and soon to your families and loved ones. Keep on keepin' on and if you are ever in Winnipeg, Manitoba, come get some baking. :-)

PS. Please tell all of your 'Joes' they are in my thoughts and look forward to follow ups on your story.
Thank you a thousand times over. You guys are truly incredible and the reason why the USA is the greatest country on the planet. Be safe and Godspeed for your speedy return home. Simply amazing!!
Sfc. Toby Nunn
THANK YOU so much for all the work you guys do!
I saw the show for the first time on April 1st and was so astonish to all the things that I saw.
Words can't express the immense gratitude I feel towards you and your soldiers.
May the Lord guide and protect each step that you and your troop take.
God Bless you all!
Edna
Unless one happens to personally know someone serving in Iraq,this war barely exists in the minds of most Americans (including myself, sad to say), a condition that the administration supports and nurtures so they are not held accountable for how FUBAR it has been from the start. Thanks to you, your men and Frontline, the war is now real for me. Many of us watching this show have adopted you and your platoon, and you will be in our minds, hearts and prayers every day until you are back home.
Thanks for opening up and letting us feel like we can really get to know you and the challenges you and your families face every day.

I want you to know that, as a mother of 2 small children...and the daughter of a Vietnam Vet, my thoughts are with you all very often. I, too, have had to learn to cope with PTSD, unrelated to war, but empathized with your hyper-alert state atop of the generalized anxiety that goes with separation from family. People stateside really don't seem to get the whole PTSD thing and how dangerous, exhausting and persistent it can be. I have no combat experience, but events in my life have me coming out of a 2 year battle with this and I can imagine how that long open road can be so much worse than combat on some days. The not knowing if anything is going to happen could be worse than the doing of something when it does happen. Anyway, you are all doing a fantastic job, and I pray that you stay strong. PTSD is a long, open road itself. And though it may feel like talking and meds won't/don't help...they can be a raft to keep you afloat until next reprieve. There are many here that are working to change things for the future and your willingness to document your experiences is so appreciated. Please continue to share your stories, even when you're home...there is always someone who needs to know that someone else out there understands what they're going through. Blessings and Good Karma to you and your families.
Let the truth be told, and justice for all...
Rebecca, MI
Good job Sarge. History repeats itself quickly there I see. From eight hour KBR recoveries to IPs close to almost every incident. I've been concerned about you guys, and a few of those I know personally in 1/160th what with the latest flare ups south. Stay safe.

I am also from British Columbia and as a Canadian I understand very little about the American culture of war. After seeing your footage you have not only impressed me with yor eloquence but also your heart.
You are doing something really wonderful with all of this.
Wishing you and your men all the best,
Allison, Vancouver
SFC Nunn-
Thank you for your service to our country. And thank you for letting a set of cameras into your life out there. Those of us that sit here in the US have a tough time trying to understand what exactly is going on out there. Thank you for providing us a slice. The thing that struck me is that you guys are an amazingly capable unit doing one specific task for months. Isn't in the best interest of our military to rotate people into different tasks and keep them fresh? This just seems like management 101 to me.
That piece was very moving. Come home safe.
Dan, San Francisco
God Bless you, men of Bad Voodoo. We pray for your safe return, we pray for your families and we want to help you while you are away and when you return. A big West Virginia shout out!
Having just seen the program early this morning, I am overwhelmed by pride and thankfulness for the job that the men of Bad Voodoo and our armed services are doing in Iraq. The film was a powerful documentary about the daily challenges and victories that our troops are facing every day.
All of us in America, all of us who are on this blog and were impacted by this program need to take action to support the troops and their families - irregardless of our politics. Send a box of supplies, send a letter, make a donation - do something! Take the feelings you have and take action. This war impacts every one of us in one way or another.
- Andrew
I just watched this incredible footage on my DVR this morning and I am sooooo grateful that it was made and that I had the opportunity to watch. I am a mother of a teenager and a baby and I worry so much for all of our men and women over there....I am politically opposed to the war, but want to so much to give a giant hug and kiss to every single American who has served our country. My gratitude can never really be measured and I find myself sort of obsessed now with finding a way to repay the debt for how much has been given and continues to be given by our bravest citizens. I salute you from the depths of my soul and pray for your safety and quick return....
Much love and gratitude,
Sandy Lipkin
Sgt. Nunn, I watched the show today and was amazed at the sheer intensity and the pressure that you and your men go through on a daily basis. THANK YOU for what you do..and please thank your men as well. Unless anyone has experienced what you are going through it is impossible for any of us to say we understand...but know that it is appreciated and I hope all goes well and each of you return home safely. Your new daughter is beautiful and you have wonderful family. From me, my wife and two sons I say thank you and God bless.
Thank you for taking the cameras along and sharing your story. I hope that many people view it. I've always been supportive of all of our military and respect highly your devotion to serve our country. I am forever horrified at how the current government has chosen to take advantage and use the military to it's own end and with such lack of consideration and respect through these last years. I hope for you all to come home safely and resume happy, healthy lives with your loved ones. Be safe! ~Dori VA
I just wanted to say I watched your story on the Frontline website. I want to let you know there are people all around the world who acknowledge the difficult job you have. As well as all that you have given up in order to support those fighting along side of you.
I'm surprised at the reality of the daily stresses your men have to endure. I simply don't know how you do it!
Its easy for people like me, who agree with the war against extremists and terrorism but not the Iraq conflict, to watch the iraq coverage on the nightly news and all the politics that surround this war and criticize America. Watching your story illuminated the reality of who you are and what you face. I sympathize with your position in an extremely controversial and difficult job.
May God bring you all home safe.
Guys,
I watched the show yesterday and hit this page today. I can't keep the tears from my eyes.
I had to write to thank you for your service and sacrifices. Please come home safe.
My husband is a platoon sgt. in the National Guard as well, stationed in Camp Virginia doing convoy security missions, and even though watching the video did scare me when I first watched it, I am so glad you shared your story. I feel like I have a better understanding now of what is going on over there, and it was comforting for me to see the scenery my husband sees on a daily basis. Ignorance is not bliss to me, I find relief in knowledge and understanding. So thank you so much for making this video....and don't worry about your wife watching it....we army wives are strong and we can handle it!!
First off I want to thank you guys for all that you do for all us back here in the States. I loved the show, you all are my heroes! In the past everytime that I saw a military person out & about, I always said to myself...you should go up to them & thank them, they are our protectors. I would chicken out, thinking they would think me crazy. But ya know, now I know differentely & I understand that they DESERVE my thanks & so much more. Next time I see a military person I am going to make a point to stop & speak to them, thank them for all they do & pray for their safety. So to all the Bad Voodoo heroes, & to all the other men & women protecting the United States I want to thank you & send each one of you a big hug. Stay safe & stay strong, your the best!!! If there is anyway of sending needed items to the troops, please let me know. GOD BLESS!

I am praying every day for the safe return of the men of Bad Voodoo company. This country owes a debt of gratitude to these soldiers that cannot ever be paid. My hope is that they all are returned safely and soundly to their families and friends. And soon.
This is a MUST SEE for all. I, like another post mentioned, found this hard to watch. The angst, the fatigue, the intensity... and I was just watching. You and all soldiers serving are incredible; all of you make me feel very proud to be an American. Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice! Looking forward to the coming home safe show!!!! :)
Sgt. Nunn, Just following up our original email from after watching the show to let you know we are still praying for you all. I am still affected by it, I find it difficult to write at this moment, especially as I sit and think about how our nephew, Frank, was also in Iraq, doing what you are doing, i.e, convoy security. Thank God, he made it back home safe. And though he has never talked about it, now I know just what he went through. I know it sounds idealistic but no one should have to go through that. Keep not only physically safe, but remember to take care of yourselves emotionally and mentally, now and later. I still cannot tell you how much we care and how proud we are of you, how often we think of you all. You are heroes, you are reminders that freedom isn't free. God bless you.
First off, thank you to all of you in Bad Voo Doo. We all appreciate what you guys are doing--- even if some of us in this world don't know how to say it. I actually recorded this show and have watched it 3 times now. My boyfriend just recently was deployed to Afghanistan. So being able to watch your platoon and see how you all take care of each other, puts my mind at ease to a point hoping he has the same type of guys watching his back. I am waiting for the next installment of video to see how you are all doing! Keep your heads down and your spirits up!
We love you! :)
Dear Sgt. Nunn and the men of Bad Voo Doo Company:
I just viewed the program on-line and was deeply touched by your honesty, sincerity and bravery. You are not forgotten! For American citizens like myself, you and our families are in our daily thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, keep up the good fight, and get home safe!

Dear Sgt. Nunn,
Thank you so much for your incredible courage, strength, and generosity. This documentary has taught me more about the experiences of American soldiers in Iraq than anything else that I've read or watched. It has been such a valuable learning experience for me, and I'm grateful for your willingness to let us into your world.
What our government is expecting out of you men is unbelievable. I know there must be days when it seems like too much to handle, but I hope that you'll continue to keep your head up--for yourself, your country, your men, and your family. We're all rooting for you and keep you in our thoughts.
My step-brother, who is in the Air Force, will be leaving for Iraq in May. I can only hope that he is led by someone with as much class and honor as you.
I hope that you and your men come home soon. It's time for this war to end.
as a wife of a soldier also doing convoy security, it is depressing and relieving at the same time to see what is really going on over there...as many army wives know...their soldiers tend to sugar coat things to not make us worry about them....i, for myself, would rather deal with reality...i thank you for your documentry...it gives us wives a sense of what we cant be there to see and feel with our soldiers...and also helps us understand them more when they come back to us...keep your morale up and your heads down bad voodoo....thanks again....see you when you get back stateside
Great to see your note here, it's good to know you guys are OK. I just wanted to say, at home you hear a lot of things like: "If you don't support the war you mustn't support the troops either." but that's just false. Whether we agree with the war or not, we are all behind you, thinking of you and ready for you guys to come on home. Hang in there Bad Voodoo!
Terrific show!!! I was moved by everybody's honesty and true sincere feelings. The action sequences were really gripping and made me really nervous for you guys. My deepest gratitude and respect to all the soldiers out there. I had one question, about the convoy. I viewed and understand your company typically escorts several dozen tanker trucks along your dangerous routes. My question is, are those tanker trucks full of oil? I heard your brief description of supplies, food and other necessities being transported. The show never touched on what were in those trucks or the significance. I'm just curious about that. Bad Voodoo Rules!! Stay safe and see you when you get back.
