Charming!

Fair point though, I forgot most US soldiers can't read. 'PRESS' in large letters must be pretty hard to pick out amongst sand and rocks. Also he was killed after the 'battle', as you call it, ended.

that's right, there's a big red light that flashes when "battle" ensues, and once it stops flashing all the insurgents and coalition soldiers just secure their weapons, and join each other for tea and scones

Mr Lloyd was shot in the back after his vehicle - clearly marked "Press"  - was caught up in US and Iraqi crossfire, then shot in the head by American forces as he was taken away in a minibus for medical treatment.
yeah, hard to tell the difference between a microphone and an RPG in the heat of combat.

i could have given a fuck less if a I saw a van that said press in the middle between my enemy and my position.  I let round fly and the van gets hit, hey, maybe they should have chosen a different profession.  I would rather be in a warzone with a rifle than a camera, but hey, thats just me.  you dont know much outside your sheltered little bubble.    I laugh, LAUGH at the fact that you think this is an outrage.  god damn it, he made the decision to be put in harms way and not even fight back, and when he dies because hes put in that position that he chose to be in, you yell murder.  dude, LOL, whatever man.  yeah he was murdered, yeah american soldiers are monsters that eat little tiny children as appetizers before they start to rape and pillage.  is that what you wanna year dick white?  you are funny.  get a life and or fucking move to iraq and fight for what you believe in and become another victim of a 5.56 round.  rich boy.

not even worth explain.  I find it weird how a person could be purposely shot in the back inside a vehicle.  if you coulndt understand that part then there aint no point in explaining what might or might not have happened.  i read the article and i re-read the article.  and it really doesnt tell you very much on the position of the vehicle or the timing of the actual fire fight.  but, like a dumb ass peice of shit you are showing yourself to be along with dick white, you are jumping to conclusions already assuming you know the whole story.
Gee sorry for flying of the handle like that,

Your right, I’m wrong, I don't know the whole story.

Sorry there was just something about American troops shooting an unarmed wounded man in the head as he made his way to a minibus for medical treatment for the bullet wounds that they had already given him that pushed my buttons.

lol he called me a hick...see what i mean people.  people jumping to conclusions.  do you guys know what war is?  do you guys know what its like to depend on your ability to place steel on target in order for you to live.  you dont.  the majority of the civilised world also avoids military conflict with the united states military.  seriously,  I thought the reality level of people reading this forum was a bit higher than what they see on TV

The media should stay out of dangerous places. If they choose to stay then they should accept the same consequences as everyone else.

Did I call you a hick? NO
Did I say that was my view? NO

Did you leap to a conclusion like you are berating others for? YES

And I'm sure you're outraged every time one of these cowardly middle east looneys shoots one of your close friends, but just remember that it was their choice to be there and they knew the risks.

Gunslinger. You have issues. Maybe next time it's your turn to go out there just take a little time to explore the possibilities of getting some therapy first. You illustrate everything I say is wrong with the US occupation and you make yourself look rather retarded at the same time, so thanks

What? Does my statement say it is my view? NO. I normally stay out of the whole US bash thing but in this instance you are displaying a completely irrational stand.

I normally defend the US as a whole and admire the bravery of their armed forces, as I do the British Armed Forces, going into situations that I can only imagine, but your total disrespect for a man who has been unlawfully killed by American troops just reinforces what a large proportion think of the US's approach to armed conflict.

I just read this article on yahoo..........This isnt the first time a reporter was killed in a war zone.  The article says he was shot in the back by Iraqis, and their truck was stopped by a truck full of Iraqis and they were fired upon by them....hence why he was shot in the back.  The mini-van which was acting as an ambulance was picking up wounded Iraqi soldiers after the U.S. opened fire on them.  The man wasnt purposely shot in the head by U.S. soldiers....hes in the middle of a fire fight, he happened to catch a round.  It sucks, yes, but its not like one of our guys walked up and executed him.

you know what, and i dont give a fuck how it sounds.  FUCK HIM.  let him rot in his grave.  we got fucking little tiny children losing their limbs every fucking day over there and you guys wanna cry about a reporter who chose to put himself in harms way.  where is the outrage at the insurgents who blow themselves up in a market place or a mosque?  where is the verbal attacks.  a fucking reporter?  where the hell are all your peoples priorities. I dont see a god damn thing that was done wrong in this situation.

dont confuse the sentiment of this thread with facts and common sense.  American soldiers have horns on their helmets and blood dripping from their chins, remember?
