Those guys in the Apache are my heroes, they deserve a medal. Firing at wounded people crawling on the ground is such a great feat. Needs courage. Hail to the gallant US troops.

Would you like it better if they left him there so he could bleed to death?

Same applies to Canadian troops in Afghanistan.

that's fucked up of you to say. i'm fairly certain you are referring to the friendly fire incident. it was an accident. noone in the US wants to see friendly troops killed. apologies were issued, and i don't know anyone who thought "oh well, they're just Canadians". you don't think that pilot felt like shit when he found out he killed Canadians? i know i did

go screw yourself u anti-US fuck.

Three men meeting in the middle of the night, carrying what looks like a RPG is not innocent. This video is not 'awesome' in that it depicts three lives being taken, but it is a very good example of the Allied technological advantage. The pilots ARE hero's, just like every other Coalition soldier in Iraq or Afganistan or wherever. War is horrible, and brutal, but it is sometimes necessary. The legitimacy of the Iraq war is debated in other forums, so I won't get into it here (I support it).

I don't think so. I think the Chacal was way out of line. No soldier just says "oh well" when there is a friendly fire incident.

Didn't read that the Apache pilot has the technology to clearly see what he was holding?

"takes out a tube-shaped object that appears to be about 4 or 5 feet long"

In most cases I would agree it was overboard. And this may have been too... but I had the same reaction as Horspower. I wouldn't have posted it that way myself, but Chacal waw WAY over the line. Any person who has served in the military would not say such things.

I admit a lot of Canada jokes go on even around here but I for one consider Canada a brother country to mine along with the UK. To hear comments like that made my blood boil.

I still get sick thinking of that incident in Afganistan. I for one understand Horsepower's vent. Maybe he should have kept it to himself but if that is the case... so should have Chacal.

Tigga.. I just read your edited post. I agree the name calling probably should have been left out. True enough.

"They're not getting a sort of blurred picture. They have a combination of intelligence and much better imagery than we can see."

"In this kind of war, wherever you find organized resistance among the insurgents, you have to act immediately. If you wait to send in ground troops almost invariably your enemy is going to be gone."

"The pilots, from the Army's 4th Infantry Division, ask their commanders for permission to engage, then take the three men out one by one, using the Apache's devastating 30 mm cannons."

Thanks to Nazi_Killer for that quote.

edit...

I have chosen to remove my remarks and have nothing to do with this thread that is based on anything but first hand information. It's insulting on every level.
