It seems the government uses force a lot more than in years past. This is really sad development. Shame we cannot strive for world peace instead.

The videos of all this violence is very upsetting.

Gasp!
This very much confirms what I have been saying about many things when it comes to how many people have died over there..

A Damn Shame is what this is..
Disgraceful to the good men and women who serve this country with honor..

The only thing I condemn is what the pilot said about the innocent child being killed, It that is really the full effect of detachment. many people in here can't imagine the adrenaline rush of "pay back" and whether or not you agree with it, there is an emotionless override to protect their actions and separates these guys from normal reality. If some people heard an everyday enlisted conversation in the marines you would probably think they belonged in an insane asylum. Because a lot of it is disconnected from everyday reality, at the same time, marines are human like the rest of the branches, and its really all a matter of perspective to those who have been trained in that mind set.

Well spoken juveous. I would submit that the comment you referred to, was in the service of his friend and compatriot, who had just learned he had killed and/or wounded children. People who have been in situations of great stress like that, usually understand and appreciate the support of others who know what it feels like. Or perhaps he made it simply out loud, to preserve his own sanity, in the face of it.

Stay well.

2:21 - 2:24 there is 2 guys with AK-47 and one with RPG-7

the AK-47's are ok, cause civilians use those, but the RPG-7 is a weapon that is designed to kill tanks, humvee's, personnel carriers, helicopters.

people should be pissed that some Idiot brought a RPG-7 to their photo shoot. that got everyone killed. its a weapon civilians dont use, that makes these guys not civilian. no civilian has any business with that weapon.

its lame the photographers got killed, but they were hanging out with a bunch of terrorist and they out of anyone should know this.

i would expect the same fate if i was in a war zone walking around with that type of weapon, and if i did that im sure people around me would end up dead also with 30mm DU munitions from a attack chopper.

There's so many holes in this video to make a real assumption tbh. I swear I seen at least one AK-47. The guy shooting around the corner with a camera?, dumb. An inconspicuous van without emblem rushes in to help right after gunfire with the heli still in the air. Kids sitting shotgun adults in the back?

I do agree that they were way too trigger happy and unprofessional about it.

Doesn't the whole world know to wave a white flag, shirt or towel for surrender?

Was the color stripped from this video or is this normal military video? They mentioned blue van, or was that just eye witness?

Wow. That is completely disgusting. I think Wikileaks is going to have much more awareness now and hopefully they are hiding much more.

But when will people understand violence will only bring more violence. I'm sure those soldiers would have regretted it eventually but still...the government, wow, they have gone completely loony...I have no words to speak off after the video.

So sad

Very sad event...the pilot was just itching/begging to fire and that is not professional in anyway. I wonder what that guy thinks of his actions now… hopefully he is haunted the rest of his life.

With that said that whole country should be haunted by the atrocities done from many groups…

What a horrible thing. I sympathize with both the families of the victims and the military personnel involved. It looks like it was a mistake. But then, I wasn't there, I haven't been there and I don't know what it is like. Maybe they could see something that we couldn't on the video, or vice-versa. But honestly, even though I find this to be quite tragic, This is nothing compared to the innocent deaths of past wars or what the toll could be if our military didn't take the care it does now.
The thing that really really bothered me, however, is I almost felt like I was playing a video game. For those who have ever played Call of Duty:Modern Warefare or Call of Duty:Modern Warefare 2, I felt like I could go grab my Xbox controller and start mowing people down. I've never really thought of actually killing People while playing the game, It's just a game, but seeing the actual footage of things I've been willing to do in a video game is quite unnerving to say the least.

Please have the gore removed from the video. Gore or links to gore are not allowed here. We must have the rule of law.

I hate the usa. I am ashamed to even be living here.
go to hell you murdering government bastards
