Actually, it did, until the american soldiers started shooting anything that moves. Now it seems they've moved the goalposts...again.

And? Does that mean you're allowed to shoot at press? British troops seem to be able to distinguish the difference ok.

the stupid idiot asked for it, what does he think is going to happen, driving in the middle of a battle, oh no, he gets killed.... its his own stupid fault, the prick wasnt even with a military unit, he went out with his crew alone. im glad hes dead, proves a point.

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.
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?
oh yeah, what the hell am i thinking?

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.
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.
Ok I'll remember that next time I see a US soldier dead on the news. Guess it's their fault for being there. FUCK 'EM!

for reals. I havent been in the worst of fire fights, TXVeteran512 has some pretty crazy shit with his platoon. but honestly,  i get shocked, fucking shocked, at how little in touch the majority of the bf2s community is with the reality of war.  people die.  people die when they dont have to.  people die when they dont have to and you are always gonna wonder if you had done the slightest little thing would the outcome have been different or would it have remained the same.

Yes there are children losing limbs and lives. Yes the actions of these insurgents is considered unlawful and as a result the armed forces of the world are there. Someone does something unlawful, the authorities deal with it.

I fail to see where the difference lies in this reporter's death being deemed unlawful and the perpetrator being brought to justice and answer for his/her crime.

Resorting to profanity just because you disagree with something wasn't necessary.

odd how little outrage there is over terrorists purposefully targeting/kindnapping/executing reporters and such, yet one wanders into a firefight and gets shot, possibly by US troops, suddenly there are cries of murder

No, it means he knows what it is like in a war zone. While you sir, do not.

Let me just direct you to a thread probably very close to your heart, this one.

You may notice that I posted in there offering my condolences to someone I don't know, have never met, but still it can't be a nice thing to go through.

Imagine how you would have reacted if my post had said....

And you talk to us about reality. Other people and their families exist.

i think everyone here knows what war is we all obviosly play bf2   and we all know the good guys have thier name and rank is printed in blue over thier head. .... oh and bad guys have it printed in red but you have to look at them for a few seconds before you see it.   

its a shame about the life lost. its war not a playground. if you don't want to be shot or shot at get the hell out.

much love to all the gi's who risk themselves to do what thier country asks.

initial injury received: "while caught up in US/[terrorist] crossfire", second shot "purposefully" a headshot while inside a moving vehicle, that's some damn good shooting, and of course we can see from this article that all rounds and injuries were of US/NATO caliber, we can also see from this article that no terrorist force would ever use US/NATO weapons recovered/stolen from the field, we can also clearly see from this article whether or not either vehicle was told to stop and/or failed to follow directions of the US troops

"He said that American forces were willing to open fire on civilians and were not prevented from doing so by their commanders."

this just pisses me off... you know what its like over there? Haji aint wearing a nice little uniform to distinguish himself from the public... you dont know they are hostile (which most of the american hating motherfuckers are whether they got a gun or not) until they pull their rifle from under their clothing... you see someone eyeing you and acting funny... be ready to ice the mother... cuz he thinkin the EXACT same thing... peoples view on war are completely fucking null to me unless they have been there... you are in survival mode in war civis get shot...
