The documentary begins with soldiers confiding how various songs -- from Drowning Pool's "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" to Mystikal's "Round Out the Tank" -- help psyche them up before battle.
One soldier explains why Drowning Pool's song was the motto for his tank crew during battles. Another tells how rapper Tupac Shakur's songs were funneled through headsets in a M-1 Abrams tank as it rolled from Kuwait into Iraq at the start of the war, and then changed to the Triple 6 Mafia when they hit the streets of Baghdad.
In one scene, a soldier talks about his affinity for punk rock and how few in his unit like the music. He tells Gittoes how there was another soldier he bonded with over the music -- one who was later killed by a roadside bomb.
