Still very confused on how people think it’s ok to be in an area where they know there’s fighting between two combatants. You definitely don’t A. Don’t go outside B. Don’t Go outside with a weapon or anything resembling one And C. Help anyone where bombs or precision ordinance lands, cuz that’s obviously not safe. You have to think before you do, why would there be 8 guys looking around a corner aiming anything at anyone? I’m not in the Army and haven’t gone to a war zone yet but I’m pretty sure after you’re there for two weeks it’s kill or be killed, and for the pilot and gunner, Theo job is to protect those on the ground(US troops), from any threat. You see what an Apache gunner can do to people but when you’re in a Bradley hearing RPG doesn’t necessarily say “wait make sure he’s not pointing an armor piercing rocket over his shoulder at a medium armored APC” instead it would be “kill that motherfucker!” I’d clear that shit in a heartbeat. If you can’t figure out you’re in a Warzone then let Natural Selection take its place.

And the report "five or six guys with weapons" was a pure fabrication by people who wanted to believe they were there for some reason besides to take Iraq from the Iraqis and hand it over to oil barons and international bankers. The people were obviously civilized, did not need or want any "American democracy", were not oppressed by a "brutal Saddam dictatorship", were not suffering as they were certainly going to after the US military got there. Don't you get it? It was all about locking up the Mideast oil and pipeline routes and fighting a people whom the Israeli government refused to make peace with.

Regardless of what you think of this particular incident, the fact remains that the War on Terror has created one of the largest humanitarian crises in human history. As an American I understand a lot of people's support for men and women of the military. That doesn't erase the fact that this war is the reason why Europe and America are facing the largest refugee/immigrant crisis in history. If you honestly supported this war or believe that it was just or moral you would be wrong. You would be wrong because this war created more of a threat to our homeland. Immigration would still exist if this war never happened but nowhere near the scale it is today. Looking back that was never brought up when this war commenced, but it should have been. This should have never happened, this war has only depleted America and threatened its future. God Bless.

[@Ethernet480]

no - we/these countries shouldn't be weak on the immigration front either. You use "immigration" - a word that is very general for what I believe to be a specific scenario of "illegal immigration and refugee influx to the United States and other countries". Nothing wrong with immigration. If there are truly refugees that require homes, there are 195 countries in the world, many closer to their homelands. The only reason I would advise that we don't simply open our doors to the entire world's population is because it is unsustainable, and we have our own to help. Not to say we shouldn't take our share or have a pick of the people we accept. It's nobody's birthright to live in the USA, only it's citizens...kinda the main perk of being a citizen that most people forget.

This is exactly why the US deep state wants to get Julian Assange. He had the balls to report real news that got handed to him and he refuses to reveal who handed him the CIA software. Mostly the US deep state can't figure out how to hack wikileaks and they want to torture Assange into giving up his sources and passwords. Assange is not a US citizen and the US deep state has no jurisdiction over him whatever and neither does Great Britain, the CIA lapdog in this case, that is also out to deliver Assange to the CIA mind-bending torturers. Criminals in action, might makes right! Fortunately we got to see what our tax dollars really buy - unconstitutional invasions of sovereign nations, wholesale slaughter of the people, and destruction of homes and infrastructure that took years to build all at the bargain price of one billion dollars a day! What a deal and such fun! The worst part is the slaughter continues today - ISIS is a CIA army, the government of Ukraine is a CIA puppet and the people suffer, all for the benefit of the most evil people in the world who are using the US military to get control of all natural resources so they can have the world by the balls and squeeze hard. The only bright light is that the Taliban (evil bastards I know) have defeated the US military and bled the US dry to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a day. 24/7 air cover and a 500# bomb or a 1,000,000 Hellfire missile to kill one Muslim head chopper is the way to go broke. The only good takeaway from this is that we the people have a chance against them the government. If the ragheads can fight the military to a standstill, then we the people can too. Who knows, we might even be able to own our land again and travel freely on the public right of way that we have paid for a hundred times over.

That cobra footage was civilian engagement. Major fuck up.

Fighting, killing and maiming on foreign shores - protecting what isn't yours

"The vehicle appears to be disabled".... you think?

[@Mrk2268]

Ok, can anyone be more stupid than the driver of that van? That was not bravery to drive up to a hot target area in the wide open. what could they think was going to happen.

[@johnmoriarty7331]

War os hell Who the fuck gets involved in a shooting in Baghdad? Soldiers

[@benkenny3220]

Does anybody read the description? It was a bunch of civilians and some journalist. There was some sort of investigation if I remember right. There is also some footage of the other end somewhere. RIP.

[@meatpopsicle1567]

Um, not unarmed. I counted at least three rifle on three separate individuals in that group. This is the video that cost WikiLeaks my respect, after they released a heavily edited version that did not show the weapons. Douche move, Julian.

Thank you.

Horrible .... cant unterstand that so few disliked .......

[@rasecinno]

Well, the fact that they opened fire at the van for helping that man concerns me lol

[@DavidParker-cf2km]

And critically injured the two girls who were in it. One actual American soldier tried to get the girls medivaced but the commander refused and made that one humane soldier abandon the wounded children to their fate. I wonder if either of those girls survived the massacre.

I thought check target before shooting was important for the military

[@casualshots4084]

David Parker it’s war get over it, shit happens, innocent people die, if you don’t like it then stop watching these videos. It’s mission first.

[@DavidParker-cf2km]

@@casualshots4084 it’s not a "war", it was an invasion of a sovereign people, these US deep state profitable wars will never end if we just "get over it" post idiotic craven comments such as "shit happens, innocent people die, if you don’t like it then stop watching these videos. It’s mission first" and keep on funding them. Please do grow a brain and a spine and understand that evil spreads when good men do nothing to stop it. I hope you hear "Mission first!" as some SWAT team of these killers takes you out.

@Jed Lawson Lmao that's so cliché. Blablabla sure americans always the good guys. ok dude. Never forget US created Isis. nuff said

[@DavidParker-cf2km]

@Jed Lawson Yes, a camera with telephone lens is deadly. Those brought an end to the very profitable Vietnam War. The maximum effective range of an RPG against a stationary target at zero elevation in the hands of an experienced gunner is 200 yards, but a camera has unlimited range. That pilot and gunner were in grave danger of being photographed. There were no weapons at all found at the scene of the massacre. One shithead among the infantry proclaimed a body was on top of an RPG, but that was the deadly camera with telephoto lens. Two girls were all who survived the massacre. They were spared only because the alert Apache gunners could not see them still able to move inside the van. The infantry left the bodies to rot. Let the locals take care of them. There is no "Marshall Plan" for the Mideast.

[@the_1_person696]

@@gildajesko7510 the thing is, it was an RPG there's absolutely no chance of being hit by it. He was a tad bit too eager to take him out. And apparently it was a camera there was an investigation and he got in trouble.

[@SuperAgentman007]

They shot at a group of people that were not armed one had a video camera it’s because he was part of the RT news crew and the others were civilians nice job guys. That’s what you call the fog of war.

[@RealDevinPerry]

The first time I watched it, I wondered why they didn't fire sooner. Personally I would have lit em up, too. The second time I watched it, I see the bags, tripod, and the camera with the big lens that looks kinda like a rocket launcher and the people standing around the journalists and it looks like a tragedy. They looked awfully like enemy combatants, and if you were in that helicopter would you wait for someone to fire a rocket at you before you engage? I wouldn't, and I wouldn't expect that of our service men and women, either. Just how it goes sometimes. Probably not a good idea to bring a camera lens so big that it looks like a rocket launcher though.
