04:31 Oh, yeah, look at those dead bastards.
04:36 Nice.

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.

Ah, I'm not gonna argue. You would probably do the same in that situation. Actually, they were in Apache against 1 AK47 and RPG. It's safe as playing Bad Company 2. Every other guy has a gun in Iraq or Afghanistan. Should they all be eliminated, along with their children?

Do you understand combat at ALL?

You have to desensitize yourself to death or there is no hope for you and eventually you break down and become a danger to yourself and your entire squad.

03:19 Oops, I'm sorry what was going on?
03:20 God damn it, Kyle.
03:23 All right, hahaha, I hit [shot] 'em...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

05:54 Yeah, we won't shoot anymore.
06:01 He's getting up.
06:02 Maybe he has a weapon down in his hand?
06:04 No, I haven't seen one yet.

They got what they deserved, I have no sympathy. We train our soldiers to kill and they did their job.

RPG

That says enough right there.

If these people understood combat so well, there wouldn't be 25 dead civilians.

Exactly, it's the same reason cops and firemen crack jokes on the job.

It's hard to argue with the facts. I agree.

If the table was turned there would be a huge shitstorm. Imagine if 25 Americans were gunned down on accident by friendlies. No wonder why every country hates us.
