It's fucked up, no doubt. As far as the helicopter attacking them, their camera could be mistaken for a weapon. Apparently there was a squad under fire near that area that had just taken RPG fire and was requesting assistance.

Anyways, when your enemy dresses up as civilians it's impossible to know who your true enemy is. That's why this happens frequently. We could go on for days and days about why we're there and all of that, but the bottom line is that in a war zone where your enemy is in disguise, this will happen. Not defending it, just stating the facts.

Also, it's easy to criticize people's actions in a war zone. I've never been to war - so I'm not going to begin to act like I know how I would act in any given situation. They say things like "got those bastards" and what-not that I know adds shock value (as if it's needed) to the video and makes people pissed off. However, it's their understanding that these people had engaged their own men or were on their way to attack. They weren't aware that they were journalists.

I'm stating how this could happen. Not saying that, in hindsight, their actions were correct. Obviously, they weren't. But given what they thought at that time I can see how they believed the actions they took were necessary.

So, given your post, you believe that they knew that these people were innocent the whole time? That they knew children were in the van? That they knew it was a camera? That they knew they were media members?

If you believe all that, then I understand your anger.

I believe they thought they were armed with AK-47's and RPGs. They believed they were about to flank their soldiers. That's what I think, and that's what their dialogue and actions suggest.

:lmao so unless the military knows there is a 100% chance someone is innocent, it's OK to shoot them? MY WHOLE FUCKING POINT IS HOW FUCKTARDED the military's "Blow everything to shit, then investigate and ask questions once the civilians are dead" procedure is barbaric and disgraceful to America.

So on the flip side, they don't engage. They assume they're camera's and tripods so they choose not to attack them.

The men continue to advance and turns out, they had RPGs and AK-47's. They successfully flank a platoon of Army Rangers. 8 Rangers are killed. When the RPG is fired, it hits a house that the Rangers are walking by, killing a mother, a father, and their two children.

No, it's not, and even still Israel has done plenty of fucked up things to Palestinians, and there's a reason why the majority of Israel's population doesn't support what their military is doing.

There are countless Palestinian suicide bombings that kill innocent Israeli people. Iraq has never acted with any aggression whatsoever towards America. Iraq is not a threat in any way towards America or the American people. These aren't Iraqis living in the US, they're living in a country the US went across the world to occupy.

And under Saddam their lives weren't at risk? Do you have any idea how many innocents died under Saddam? I disagree with all of these innocent killings. I wish none would happen, but that's not the world we live in. We need to leave Iraq and let them have their country back. That's what I think.

Holy shit comparing this to the holocaust. As a Jew, even. Wow. Not even close.

Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] that has become an Internet adage.

The jews/Israel wasn't a threat to Palestine before they came in and took their land from them. What did you say about the U.S. occupying Iraq? I'll give you that. But at least we're not saying "this was your home, but now it's ours".

Less than the hundreds of thousands of people who died because of this war. America has caused more innocent Iraqi deaths than Sadam has, and it's not even close.


I disagree with all of these innocent killings.
Then why do you care so much about giving a legit reason for the killings?


that's not the world we live in.
Innocent people getting gunned down by a chopper for carrying a camera? No, that's not the world you or I live in. That's the world Iraqi citizens live in because of the situation our government/military created.

The Jews had the land before anyone else did, but that's not the point. Palestinian terrorists pose a threat to Israel and have killed thousands of innocent Israelis with suicide bombings over time. Iraq has never been responsible for an attack in America.

The bottom line is, I'm not going to sit here like you and have a "holier than thou" attitude towards this situation. I gave reasons as to how this could have happened. You clearly took at it as me beating my chest saying "I'M AN AMERICAN, DAMMIT" which was not my intention at all. It's easy to sit here on my computer and call everyone involved a fucking idiot and hate those involved. I wasn't there, I've never been to war, and I'm not going to act like I was there or that I have been in a war zone.

The Barzani Clan Abductions of 1983:

Masoud Barzani led the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), an ethnic Kurdish revolutionary group fighting Baathist oppression. After Barzani cast his lot with the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War, Hussein had some 8,000 members of Barzani's clan, including hundreds of women and children, abducted. It is assumed that most were slaughtered; thousands have been discovered in mass graves in southern Iraq.

The al-Anfal Campaign:

The worst human rights abuses of Hussein's tenure took place during the genocidal al-Anfal Campaign (1986-1989), in which Hussein's administration called for the extermination of every living thing--human or animal--in certain regions of the Kurdish north. All told, some 182,000 people--men, women, and children--were slaughtered, many through use of chemical weapons. The Halabja poison gas massacre of 1988 alone killed over 5,000 people. Hussein later blamed the attacks on the Iranians, and the Reagan administration, which supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War, helped promote this cover story.

The Campaign Against the Marsh Arabs:

Hussein did not limit his genocide to identifiably Kurdish groups; he also targeted the predominantly Shiite Marsh Arabs of southeastern Iraq, the direct descendants of the ancient Mesopotamians. By destroying more than 95% of the region's marshes, he effectively depleted its food supply and destroyed the entire millennia-old culture, reducing the number of Marsh Arabs from 250,000 to approximately 30,000. It is unknown how much of this population drop can be attributed to direct starvation and how much to migration, but the human cost was unquestionably high.

The Post-Uprising Massacres of 1991:

In the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, the United States encouraged Kurds and Shiites to rebel against Hussein's regime--then withdrew and refused to support them, leaving an unknown number to be slaughtered. At one point, Hussein's regime killed as many as 2,000 suspected Kurdish rebels every day. Some two million Kurds hazarded the dangerous trek through the mountains to Iran and Turkey, hundreds of thousands dying in the process.

Estimated number of civilian Iraqi casualties caused by the war to date: 102,000-111,000.

There were so many inaccuracies between what the airteam saw and what the video shows - boggles my mind how they'd come back harder on the people exposing the truth of the incident rather than the people that attempted to cover it up. But that's war, someone has a profit to make and if drastic changes occured in the Iraq occupation as a result of this getting out in 2007, then that's nearly 4 years of lost profits from whoever in the fucking world stands to profit from that clusterfuck.

But no! Let's not ask why we're losing so much in the Middle East, let's focus on cutting benefits and medical care to low income and elderly people in the US - and keeping gay marriage illegal. That's the kind of shit our Reps are concerned about, real important shit like that. Uh huh.

Oh, and how about the other brilliant move: Hey, helicopter gunfire just killed about 10 people standing in front of me. I think I will drive my van with my kids in it up there and pick up some bodies.

They don't view kids as we do.

I don't recall seeing kids in the video. How were they to know?

Would any sane person drive a van full of kids into a combat zone? They had to have seen what was going on.

You may not like me pointing out possibilities, but at least I don't display the lack of ethics you do.

I agree they didn't make a decision to live in a war zone if that was the case, however, they did make the decision to rescue a terrorist. Surely, they could see what had happened.

I don't recall the reference of children in the van, when the story broke so long ago. What is meant by children? Toddlers? Teenagers? Young soldiers? And again, I don't recall any "children" being visible in the video.

Actually the military is more corporate and business like with hints of politics mixed in nowadays...the only true frontrunners in the military game are made by way of politics.

The only branch that you refer to that has that mindset still are spec ops or marines due to set ways which still work due to repetitism.

Also, lots of docs/nursers still join the military and are paid exceptionally more than the outside corporate market for their talents and hold Ph.D's in their fields which is why some join in the first place so that refutes your point of lazy/stupid people.

And as for your comment of "I'll bet your pansy ass has would never fight in a war and has never been in a fight"...I care less because I'm not in the military but I am pretty sure there are laws out there that prevent tards like you picking up a weapon in the first place when they still can't stop shitting/wetting their own bed first.

29.4 percent of company grade officers have advanced degrees - 22.1 percent have master’s degrees, 6.9 percent have professional degrees and 0.4 percent have doctorate degrees. 88 percent of field grade officers have advanced degrees - 71.8 percent have master’s degrees, 13 percent have professional degrees and 3.1 percent have doctorate degrees.

As far as the enlisted go, 70.1 percent have some college - 19.3 percent have an associate’s degree or equivalent, 5.8 percent have a bachelor’s degree, 1 percent have a master’s degree and 0.01 percent have a professional or doctorate degree.

You still have to budget your time, study on your own, complete assignments on time, show up to class, be prepared, etc., completing college with a good GPA requires self-discipline and the ability to get shit done on your own. A career in the military means you were able to follow the directions of your commanding officer.

tbh, the guys you hear talking in the video, other than the ground units, likely never faced enemy fire on the ground. Officers and warrant officers often have an air of supremacy about them that's unwarranted (no pun intended). Generally (no pun intended) it's the higher ranking officers and enlisted men that get it. The rest are just playing video games.

Also, some of these guys need serious therapy when they return to the states, despite their seemingly calloused approach on film. Like many of those individuals in groups with common goals, these guys say whatever to get through the moment and appear mentally intact, but they often don't make a return trip.

All of the pieces of crap apologizing and justifying this are not worthy of human life let alone living in this country.

America built it's reputation on being righteous and descent, especially during WWII. Bad military work, bad scouting is to blame for this, not actions "being a part of war". This is the same crap that screwed us up in Vietnam. People don't want this version of freedom,whatever the heck that means now.

My platoon capt in nam had a unwritten rule, if any of us grunts shot a child or woman, we'd be shot as well and left for dead. When our platoon was grouped, we made an agreement no more screwed up stuff, and you know what? We did our job well and we're all mentally sane individuals now for it.

Between all distracting BS with Agent Orange and randomly killing civilians, we were made to retreat. If the grunts and higher ups just kept it simple, perhaps we'd done better.

I find it highly noticeable how so many of the scum justifying this tend to be conservative, when it comes down to it, the conservative far right in this country are not far different from jihadists. Both a plague to humanity and worthy of a bullet to the head.

And some of you wonder why America has lost respect in the world. Worldwide we're looked down upon. Nobody falls for that "freedom, liberty" BS anymore

So, given your post, you believe that they knew that these people were innocent the whole time? That they knew children were in the van? That they knew it was a camera? That they knew they were media members?

If you believe all that, then I understand your anger.

I believe they thought they were armed with AK-47's and RPGs. They believed they were about to flank their soldiers. That's what I think, and that's what their dialogue and actions suggest.


Give up on the bull man, you make Aggies look bad. I know plenty of Aggies would of scouted the scenario further. You act like it impossible to decipher a camera from a gun or notice a child. We have optics that see the type of drink in your hand from space, heck i'd spot the type of gun if at all from 1000yds out and fire with reasonable accuracy.

Lowered expectations are what's hot in College Station now or what?

All of the pieces of crap apologizing and justifying this are not worthy of human life let alone living in this country.

America built it's reputation on being righteous and descent, especially during WWII. Bad military work, bad scouting is to blame for this, not actions "being a part of war". This is the same crap that screwed us up in Vietnam. People don't want this version of freedom,whatever the heck that means now.

My platoon capt in nam had a unwritten rule, if any of us grunts shot a child or woman, we'd be shot as well and left for dead. When our platoon was grouped, we made an agreement no more screwed up stuff, and you know what? We did our job well and we're all mentally sane individuals now for it.

:lmao so unless the military knows there is a 100% chance someone is innocent, it's OK to shoot them? MY WHOLE FUCKING POINT IS HOW FUCKTARDED the military's "Blow everything to shit, then investigate and ask questions once the civilians are dead" procedure is barbaric and disgraceful to America.

In Aggieland tho, you guys seem to think it's awesome. It's why every billy badass who was picked on in school joins the military so he can go shoot up some innocent people.

The military is full of crazy Rambo wannabe motherfuckers who wanna shoot anything that moves. Shit like this doesn't surprise. There are quite many genuinely good people to so I'm not going to bash the whole military.

Argument?...shit son this "debate" was over once you couldn't even answer a simple question and only resorted to nothing but mindless, self-opinion banter.

You are laughable at best...but good "comeback" faggot <---oh look another gay joke for you to reply about.

Kinda ironic coming from a guy claiming to have shot at civilians on the street, and who's openly threatened to shoot people on the forum.

Just sayin...

TC threatening to shoot people is kinda like when you claimed to have an engineering degree and a daughter.

so what, that makes me somehow a military luva? btw you know that was a shtick and i don't post like that anymore right..

No, that doesn't make you a military lover, it does seem to make you a bit of a contradiction however.

I understand it was a shtick. Just taking a poke at you for fun.

Hanoi DoK is another story.

Yes, I am saying that. It's a war zone. In war zones, people die.

:lol This is rich. It's the civilians fault that a foreign country invaded and turned their country into a war zone where everybody is a target, under the guise of liberating them.

It's understood that soldiers didn't make the decision to invade, so obviously it's not their fault the number of American soldiers or Iraqi civilians lost in that war. But to go from there to claim that civilians should've known they had it coming is really retarded.
