What happened to Honor? What happened to Intrepidness? This is the opposite! This is the brutal reality of a one-sided occupation of a third world country. This video, released today, shows US helicopter gunmen mowing down non-threatening civilians and reporters including children in a van that stopped to pick up dead bodies. Then, to add insult to death, the children are not even medivaced, they are given to the Iraqi police. I vaguely remember the rules of engagement from when I was the Marine Corps a decade ago, but I know that this was enough to completely violate them. The soldiers in the helecopter said the men on the ground were firing AK-47s and had RPGs but it is clear on the video that none were aiming nor firing anything. If this were on the nightly news you can bet that the war would be over tomorrow. This video is disturbing to say the least but should be viewed in its entirety.
Over 869,000 Iraqi and Afghan civilians, including women and children, have been collaterally murdered since 2001 by coalition forces. Nearly twice that have been left limbless, crippled, burnt, blind, and brain damaged. What number must we reach before we can declare this a victory?
In 2009, 700 innocent civilians including women and children were murdered by US forces in Pakistan by drone attacks alone, and we are not even at war with them! It's our Freedom they hate right? They are definitely fine with watching their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins and the like being systematically vaporized by "Democracy."
Any coward in a county of blood hungry sheep can support a slaughter thousands of miles from their home, but it takes true fortitude and courage to stand in opposition to such well armed ignorance.

I too felt the need to spread this video around...Makes me ill watching them destroying human lives like their garbage and then actually laughing about running them over with tanks.
These people never got charged with a crime... were never given a right to defend themselves....They were hunted down by murderers and executed in cold blood.
Thanks for spreading things like this Kipper .Unfortunately there are many examples of this murderous thinking caught on film. People try to say that I am anti american for pointing them out too. What a shame.
