How could you guys even try to defend this, those cars came from nowhere and these fuckers killed them and then laughed about it..WTF!

I know what you're saying, but honestly, I think I'd have been even less restrained if I had been in that situation.  This is why I'd probably make a shitty soldier.  I would imagine that the heat and anger experienced during a shootout would be difficult to control at times, and everyone has their breaking point.

The clip doesn't give us much to go on.  Assuming the people in the white car were innocent, the ramifications aren't good, but I can't say that I can judge these guys for what they did if they were in the middle of a firefight....

Ask yourself how you would act in the heat of battle.  How disciplined are you?

I see your point but i know i wouldn't be laughing about it afterwards.

well thats you - maybe you would scanning the lines for anymore enemys, maybe you would be slumped in the corner sucking on your camelback or maybe you would be excitied and laughing bc you have all this rush and no one on your team is getting med-a-vacted out of there

Have you ever been shot at? When you have lead coming at you the worst things seem funny. I had a captured taxi in our firm base that had the trunk cut out for planting IEDs, also every time a car is shot at in Iraq (by Americans) their is an investigation into it seeing if it was warrented. So don't get all huffy, unless you have been their done that.

I dont know who was in that building but if he's in there he aint happy.

id ssay. the mormons have a new way to sell there bibles.
but on track now, im not going to blame the marines for what happened, what if the guy in the car had been a insurgent? my regards are to those service men and women over there.

I saw the whole video a few months ago, although I cannot recall where.  All I have to say is that you are an idiot if you believe that the whole story is some soldiers killing civilians and laughing about it, and that you gave this thread a very derisive title.  I hate the way people expect that the soldiers must be doing something wrong and not the stupid civilians.  What happened is that there were some insurgents that were hiding in the building and they were exchanging fire with the soldiers.  Some idiot civilians show up and drive right through.  I find it hard to believe they are even civilians.  What kind of civilian would drive through a firefight and park?  If you knew that there were insurgents hiding in a building and some car pulled up with no regard to their own safety, wouldn’t you shoot at it?

Expecting the military to investigate itself and find wrongdoing is like expecting the cops to do the same. And since the actions of our military reflect on the rest of us back here in the US whether we like it or not, we have a right to get "huffy" when there's a possibility that soldiers are engaging in that kind of shit.

Actually the Military doesn't, Civillans do CID, NCIS they do that. Also to keep the US looking good the Government will hang us out to dry, grunts are expendable.

Edit: Look at Haditha, one of my friends might go to jail for the rest of his life for doing what he was trained to do!

JohnnyKill - How many times have you been to Iraq? I was just wondering since you seem to have made up your simple mind about what goes on there. We(Marines) go around shooting at innocent people all the time there. Maybe your punk ass should go and try to comprehend what actually goes on in combat. I happen to be an 0331 in the United States Marine Corps. That is a machine gunner which you probobly had no idea. I was on the ground during Ramadi and know for certain that we DO NOT shoot any innocent civillians. So maybe there was intel on that house or maybe someone saw shooting from that house? Why are the civillians running twords that house? You're just the typical idiot who has an oppinion on something you know absolutly nothing about.....Semper Fidelis you *%&^.

Your not a bright one are ya? And no , I don't know what a 0331 means. I was Air Defense, US Amry 3/62nd ADA FT.Drum N.Y. Sorry........

Not sure about the civilians part, since the insurgents do not dress in uniform or drive military vehicles.  Seems like they had some kind of "L" shaped ambush and this squad was where they wanted the bad people to get sucked in to.

Some of you have some pretty weird comments.  If the video was named "Marines Pwn Insurgents," I bet some of you would have different responses.  Stop being sheep.

I see your point but i know i wouldn't be laughing about it afterwards.I know shit things happen in war but show some human dignity,some compassion.

well thats how certain people act here in America maybe things are different in Canada.
