Collateral murder

[Tank]

Its a long video - and I'm speechless having just watched it.

Its worth watching the entire thing. Bloody shocking - regardless of views on the war.

also it has been confirmed that this is an authentic video here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=10636582

Yeah, me and the young fulla that works for me watched it this morning. Bloody shocking stuff. Thats what happens when the playstation generation go to war...

some of whom were unarmed

Standing near those that are probably wasn't their smartest move then.

Walking around Baghdad with guns isnt the smartest move in the world

The offensive thing is why the Americans are there

Walking around Baghdad with guns isnt the smartest move in the world

from the link on NZ herald:

"According to US officials, the pilots arrived at the scene to find a group of men approaching the fight with what looked to be Alaska-47s slung over their shoulders and at least one rocket-propelled grenade.

A military investigation later concluded that what was thought to be an RPG was really a long-range photography lens; likewise, the camera looked like an Alaska-47."

Serious fact checking in the article - what the fuck is an Alaska-47?

Hmm, actually after some pondering I figure it's probably some dude's auto-fill turning AK into Alaska. AK is Alaska's abbreviation, yes?

Pretty impressive to watch a video like that - and the thing that got you pondering is a auto-correct for a typo.

and to think they call us unsensitized.

Didn't watch the video, but read the article. Here, let me express my views on what a tragedy it is so you can be assured all apropriate hand-wringing has been done: It is a tragedy, and from what I've read the actions are inexcusable blah blah blah. I'll be honest I'm fucking exhausted right now and don't really know what I'm typiaeggGgGEGGGgGGgG

Moving towards the shooting in a war zone can get you killed...can someone explain why this either a) surprising or b) news?

"No Kenny, guns don't go pitchew pitchew, they go BAYNG BAYNG BAYNG!"

But in all seriousness, why do we have young fellas so eager to pull the trigger without properly surveying the situation? A small amount of humor in a warzone I can understand, but with something so critical...
