Stop trying to stand behind your bullshit argument. Trying to help a wounded person has nothing to do with cleaning the scene. You dont have a fucking single clue that crawling person was even an insurgent, or people inside that van were different than ordinary civilians trying to help a person on the edge of death.
Whens the last time in war its wrong to kill someone who's wounded? It's not exactly a fucking tickling competition now is it?
Btw yes it is wrong to kill a defenceless person in any case.
They would be doing their jobM.O.A.B wrote:
So, if they killed some insurgents, what would they be then?
So hold on. Let's say you have a wounded insurgent, with no legs, his guts are hanging out and the guy is screaming. You have no way of keeping him alive or treating him. Are you saying it would be more humane to just let him lie there and slowly die?Ottomania wrote:

What do you mean by hide?
There was nothing to hide, and if it was hidden I assume it was to keep it away from people like you who have nothing better to do than try and point out the Americans are ruthless killers.
I am not pointing out the Americans are ruthless killers, but those pilots are, and why the whole case was tried to be covered up.
How does it NOT justify their deaths? If you are a non-combatant, do you think its wise to hang around with a target?mafia996630 wrote:
"errr, Like no".
2. That doesn't justify their deaths which is what some of you are trying to do.
3. I did't see them pick up a gun ? correct me if i'm wrong.
Shifty you never debate anything so don't bother flaming others.-Sh1fty- wrote:

How about this:Pug wrote:
How about this:
1) don't have a weapon in a war zone and you won't be a target
2) don't hang around with people who are armed in a war zone and you won't be a target
3) when picking up wounded, stick to picking up bodies instead of picking up a weapon and you won't be a target
If you can prove that combatants should not be shot, or people who act like combatants should not be shot...great.
Until then, STFU
They were unarmed and trying to help a wounded man away from the scene. How would they be combatants? considering there was nothing there to certify that anyone was a combatant your statement has no meaning whatsoever, unless you think it's the right way of thinking to assume EVERYONE in a certain area is a 'combatant' and shoot them, kids women and all.M.O.A.B wrote:
At the time nothing suggested they weren't either.
WTF? What planet are you on, planet immorality? So you think it's OK to just go and shoot a wounded person who is no threat to you or anyone and could easily live given medical care? Fucks sake man. So when in WWII medics were specifically targeted that was OK by you yeah? Or when ambulances are targeted, that's OK too? I'll ask again: Would you also find it acceptable if someone attacked a US ambulance going to pick up wounded marines? I think not.Cybargs wrote:

You must have x-ray eyes if you could tell there were kids in that van.ruisleipa wrote:

If you watch the video you will realize pilots' eagerness to open fire. And confirmation from command doesnt mean that they have right to shoot, due to misinformation at very first. There is no videolink between helicopter and command just radio.ghettoperson wrote:
So if they're 'ruthless killers', why did they hang around for a while before doing anything to confirm that they were going to shoot at legitimate targets, and why did they radio it in to command who confirmed that they could shoot, after seeing the exact same footage that the pilots saw?Ottomania wrote:

Okay, so you are carrying a gun in a warzone...have you made yourself a target? Yes or noruisleipa wrote:
How about this:
Don't assume everyone carrying a gun in a country where everyone carries a gun is an 'insurgent'.
Don't act like it's a warzone when it's the middle of a city in 2007 that wasn't a war zone.
Don't act like shooting kids is something you should be proud of.
If you can prove that people obviously helping wounded are combatants...great.
Until then, STFU. Kthxbye.
You could certainly see the effects in that vid.Cybargs wrote:

Video doesnt tell how hard he is wounded. Probably he avoided a direct hit. And you dont have right to end someones life just because he is wounded hard. You cant decide whether a person is goint to survive or not without a medical expertise.M.O.A.B wrote:

You are not a vet, and 30mm from an Apache is very similar to if not the same as 30mm from anything else.Cybargs wrote:

Can you provide a source to me which mentions about the instantaneous video communication between an attack helicopter and command?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

This just keeps getting more and more funny as people say things like "There is no videolink between helicopter and command just radio." and "Would you also find it acceptable if someone attacked a US ambulance going to pick up wounded marines? I think not.".
Without googling, most likely there is, considering Predator drones are controlled in that fashion.Ottomania wrote:

It is predator drones. I asked for attack helicopters.Pug wrote:

Do you still want proof?
You mean like the guy that was actually in Iraq saying there is video to go along with the audio? Or by your emphasis on instantaneous are you going to tell me that the speed of light isn't fast enough for you? Darn causality, makes everything so difficult.Ottomania wrote:

'Once in Mozambique I was asked to fix up a sucking wound caused by an M16 rifle on a terrorist wanted alive for interrogation. He was doing quite well after my treatment but the fire-fight was still warm and the choppers coming in to collect him and our wounded were getting shot to pieces so, as he was not as important as our casualties, he was shot rather than being left to die slowly'
I meant the transmission of video, on air.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

I'm glad you think it's funny. Actually, I think it shows a rather disturbing lack of humanity on your part.Flaming_Maniac wrote:
