Wrong. US forces are trained and brainwashed to kill the enemy. KILL THE ENEMY. Butchering them with a knife is no different to gunning them down.

How far out were they circling the city from?
What size screen do you view that camera from in and Apache?
Can anyone else see the video live? (For instance the folks who gave the green light to fire.)
I assume the front pilot is flying and the rear pilot is the gunner?
Is he wearing full headgear (Helmet/headphones/visor)?
Again sort of falls on the video, is only the co-pilot watching the camera and what is he looking at.

Funny hows its always american troops doing this sort of thing.
I always hear americans saying how they have the best trained army in the world bla bla bla priding themselves on the latest toys and gadgets.
But seriously what sort of training can these guys of had to do things like this?
Truth is the grunts are way under trained or uneducated.
I felt the same watching this video of these murders as i did when i read about the 7 or 8 'freindly' fire incidents when we lost alot of our troops because of the gung ho cowboys.
Shame on anybody that supports this war
I think we can probably trust the reputation of WikiLeaks, though. *shrug*

Trying to rationalize and defend a heinous act for which there is NO justifiable "context" is probably sadder.
Why do you think the military has been fighting tooth and nail to keep this from the general public?

Towards the end when they were carrying the kids out.. one of the guys from the helicopter said something like..
"That's what you get for bringing your kids to a battle."
Come on, really? That just did it for me. A man driving with his kids and sees 10+ fellow iraq's on the ground murdered or injured so he decides to help and try to put them in his van while his two kids are watching the helicopters destroy them.. good lord what have we become?

The world had better take notice of this Disgraceful and heinous act.
Those Trigger Happy Soldiers couldn't work out that was a Camera he was Carrying and that RPG, was that the Camera Man trying to take a Photo of the Helicopter? There was no RPG there at all.
If the rest of the World doesn't take notice and take action, then i'm afraid the rest of the World is is just as Bad..
The way those Soldiers acted has Brought Shame upon not only themselves, Not only on the Marines but the Whole of America.
This Video should be shown on every TV station on Prime Time News so it
can reach as many people as possible..
Obama would surely have known about this.. Shame on you Obama, Shame on you..
I am so Angry right now.
