Very nice, as usual... but:
1. The plot could have been more obvious. The transition between the firefight, the medic getting captured and the rescue force coming in was somewhat rough, and didn't make it clear what happened.
2. It really needs to be uploaded somewhere where the compression won't rape the hell out of it, like stage6, or a zip on filefront.

I liked the way the stairs scene turned out. It looks like the insurgents are advancing, SWAT style, ready to kill, but get mowed down. Then, one last guy runs out, crazy style, trying to kill the Americans, and gets shot mid-run.

Good stuff man. Although after Maistros' teaser, no other PR film may ever use Bury Your Head again.

Dude...when they enter the room where the medic is at the end, is the medic jacking off?

Also, as daranz said, the plot could indeed be more obvious. And cool it on the slowmo. Give us more closeups of insurgent faces as they fire and kill the infidel. Also, instead of the slow advance (in which people didn't do a good job in covering each other as they went up the stairs...bad tradecraft...tut, tut...) you could have made it faster, more brutal, with US forces moving in, and BAM BAM BAM, killing insurgents before they even got to react. Maximum speed, maximum aggression. Short clips, high speed, rapid movement, bam bam bam, killing insurgents, rescuing wanking pilot.

But then again, I've watched too many movies...

Dan, btw... where's the "normal" version? Both urls link to the edited video.

PS: You should've included all the names on the credits screen.
