Since the US invaded Iraq in 2003, military women have been featured in stories that have influenced our understanding of the current political situation. Christy Gast's video "Amazonian News Network" explores women's roles in the military via today's lowest common denominator media form: the visual language of a twenty-four hour news channel with over-the-top graphics and audio, fast cuts, bright colors, sensational stories, endless promos for upcoming segments, and a continuous scrolling text. The news stories are narrated by cross-dressing soldier dolls. One segment, in the style of an expose, examines a so-called Riot Grrl Boot Camp, asking, "are little girls becoming too empowered?" In another, a reporter checks in at the scene of a Phoenix area mountain that recently had its name changed in honor of a Hopi military woman killed in Iraq. Camouflage fashion trends for women are the topic of an opinion poll, and tech news is about "doing a Lynndie," a fad in which people parody Lynndie England's thumbs up/finger pointing gesture and document the situation with their digital cameras. The faux news segments address contemporary politics' place in the media humorously yet earnestly, magnifying a trend in which reporting on individuals' experiences overshadows the larger sociopolitical context.
