Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
Those 'journalists' had embedded themselves with the insurgents. They put themselves in harms way by going into a war zone in the first place, then put themselves in the crosshairs by running with the dogs of islam. The whole "there were children there!" argument is moot as hell when dealing with muslims. Of COURSE there were children there, muslims know that their best chance of surviving in war is to hope that westerners won't shoot at them if they have women and children in front of them. |

Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
Great idea, let's just send three times as many people who WON'T be able to defend themselves from a country whos majority of people do NOT want to change. Who will kill many more "Innocents" then that incident did. Sure, let's trade lives. Eye for an eye right? Let's just make sure it's our OWN people sending them to die. |

Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
At 1:12 the guy in the crosshairs has a weapon and it is surely not a camera. When the American Units say they do not have assets in that area that the Apaches are looking at its open season on that ass. At 1:27 they think that the guy peeking around the corner taking pictures has an rpg. The tactic the guy is using to peek around the corner is something insurgents do before they fire an RPG. They are also getting radio traffic from units on the ground that someone was firing from that area. It is a tragic case that the Reuters camera guys got killed but shit happens in warfare. The camera men were in the wrong place at the wrong time. When the Apache enguages the vehicle the think that they are aiding the guys they just shot. There is no way they could known there were kids in that car. Thats the parents fault for putting thier kids in harms way. If I just saw a bunch of dudes get mowed down by an Apache Im not stopping to help |

Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
clear proof weapons such as an Apache are only good in free-fire zones where everyone is a target. You can't determine who's a threat and who isn't from such a height/distance. Totally bad. |

Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
Apache gunners have a history of getting it wrong. just research the first Gulf war and the second and you'll see they are Gung ho and just want to shoot at anything. BTW even I could tell that it wasn't an RPG.

Re: Two Reuters Photographers & 12 Civilians Killed During Apache Helicopter Attack
The cameras do look remarkably like weapons in night visions. The died because of their stupidity, not because the pilots wanted to kill them. If they were wearing "Media" body armor like most journalists, they most likely wouldn't have been shot. -Will PS: All this video shows is the fog of war, not thing else. |
