Yep - pleased note the third target crawling away to the right just above the final shoot-up of the pick-up. And here we have some of the true horrors of war, in a video clip.

Here's some story behind the clip

What made it really gruesome is the dialoug that goes along with it. Man that was something. You get any closer and you will need counseling afterwards. Now I'm interested in what weapon they were using. I'm guessing that was an Apache Attack helicopter since they were firing the 30mm explosive round huh.

DA

I just checked out the article at ABC.com that Hudson made reference to on the video. Now how in the HELL can question the ROE that the U.S. Military uses in Iraq, we must remember that our boys and girls are dying over there almost daily and they want to question what is being done about the people who are possibly behind these attacks on our forces. What I do think need to be in question is the fact that I must pay a monthly fee to see war footage video stream. We need to check who needs to be checked.

Now I just finished reading page two and I'm really pissed now. Who in the hell do these meat heads think they are questioning what was acceptable or not acceptable in a potentially hostile situation that may or may not happen in the future. Just last week me and my family were gathered together for a family memeber that passed away from lung cancer, he was 70 and we started talking about this WAR or whatever you want to call it. My uncle he was pretty quiet about it(partly because he served several tours in VIET NAM and he reguarly shuns away from that type of conversation), my aunt mentioned that this reminds her of when my uncle was over there and everyday they mentioned the body count and our boys dying over there. It brought up bad memories for her. Everybody looked at my uncle the 30 year retired RANGER and asked him his opinion and all he could say was if we don't get a handle on this situation and soon this could be another problem, he thinks more troops in the area will work.
