These videos are not recommended to sensitive people, however, everyone should know the true images of the war.

I watched this earlier, this is sickening.
"let me shoot"
The eagerness to kill is astonishing

Oh no, that is so horrible. Soldiers killing armed men who weren't wearing a uniform or any indication that they aren't hostile in the middle of an insurgency is so shocking!
I am appalled to learn that the same guns that we hand our children are being used in such an ignoble way!
How dare these people kill people even though they are taught to kill people and are payed to kill people!

Have you watched the whole video OZA? How were they armed? And shooting those people who were picking up the wounded? Come on.

I forgot about how easy it is to distinguish between hostile and non hostile actions in the middle of a battlefield at long distances when you are under extreme amounts of stress for long stretches of time.

I watched the video and haven't seen any provocation from the side of so-called "insurgents". This was clearly bad judgment on the side of the US Army. And later, the attempt to cover up the story is simply sickening.

It is easy to say this in hindsight from the safety of your computer desk.

You shoot somebody because you thought they were armed. You have been trained for weeks to treat anybody hostile until proven otherwise.
They reach down to about where this perceived gun would fall.
I probably would have fired, too.
