AH64 Apache W/Hughes 30mm chain gun. I have a high quality extended version of this where 7 anti-tank mines can be seen in the cargo area of the big truck. These guys are(were) preparing a mine field.
Also, these guys knew they were being watched....they could have surrendered....but chose (badly) to act up...which led to the heli crew thinking they could be struck by an RPG. I hate war by the way, I'm not - by any chalk - a military enthusiast.
In Britain the yanks have gotten a lot of stick for Blue on Blue incidents, they provide a huge amount of air support for our boys out in Iraq/Afghanistan and if you look at the ratios of personnel there are bound to be accidents in battle.The apache crew; identify, check, verify, re-check, pass back comms, and based on command and direct visual... These guys made the right decision, in a professional way. Keep up the good work yanks, side by side...always is, always will be. War is cold though
@Toronto2245 I don't see why people are so concerned with the Iraqi civilian deaths... Civilian deaths always occur in war unfortunately. Germany lost anywhere in between 1,100,000 to 3,150,000 civilians in WW2 but no one is complaining about that. Objective: Get Hitler out of power (accomplished). Same concept today - Get Suddam out of power (accomplished) and kill Osama to boot (accomplished). And those last two were accomplished with less civilian deaths so... yeah
@XzINVICTUSzX So you are cool with 3000 civilians dying on 9/11 because someone wants the US out of power. I'm assuming you have a problem with that because they are YOUR civilians.
@bigbro02 Are you honestly comparing the US to Iraq in that way? What a fool. I'm not saying the US is better than Iraq, I'm just saying our leaders have never used chemical weapons on us...
@XzINVICTUSzX I am not speaking of Iraq specifically. BTW, Iraq didn't do 9/11. I am speaking about the mindset of any army/country that attacks the US. They believe they are just as right about attacking us that you do about us attacking them. They don't care about civilian here, just as you don't care about them there. They may be wrong in what they do, and I believe they are, but they believe they are right. I feel the same about what you have said. Civilians are civilians.
The info I got on this video (got it via email, not Youtube) was 40mm guns, 2 miles out in a plane. I love farmers that drive up, and randomly bolt out to fields and drop items that look exactly like RPG's. Watch the video people. Also, I read in the email I got that a US convoy on night patrol was scheduled to pass through there that night. Not to mention that the gunner had to get permission to fire. He wasn't trigger happy. Listen! God bless our troops. Support them people, don't knock 'em.
Yup. And I'll tell you, that shape sure looks a lot more like an RPG than anything you'll use to plant anything. Especially at night. If you know anything about farming, you'd know they have no reason at all to be in a field at night.
What should be said is that thunderfoot is still full of shit.
These were insurgents hiding weapons in a field. They got caught. And got killed for it. If you watch the man next to the tractor when the shooting starts, he sure isn't taking the cover off a shovel!
He is taking the cover off an RPG or MANPADS in order to shoot at the helicopters. Don't let thunderfoot's "analysis" (cut and paste hack job more like it) mislead you.
Soldiers are maniacs, idiots and mentally deranged for agreeing to kill others just because someone told them they could. I pissed on the Desert Storm War Memorial. HA! HA!
The army is sent in because of what our leader does. Their actions from a wartime perspective are justified, whether the war is or not. They are taking out the enemy, which is their job.
4.0 GPA: Yale University. What is so wrong with killing terrorists who already want to die? Are you are pacifist, highly religious or are you just a pussy?
Wow.. killing men from miles away.. killing unarmed men.. killing men waving showing they were unarmed.. killing a man whos crime was sitting in a tractor.. killing a man who was clearly injured.
umm these were farmers dude, i have seen the entire 28 min or so of video at no time did they plant anything but crops, and for people who plant ieds i think they would be moving with more urgencey, they clearly werent doing anything but standing in a field after a long days work
You're blind!! No IED's, NO Weapons! Just a few farmers trying to keep there furrows straight with a plank. Do some studying on Iraqi farming, before you kill innocent people! BABY KILLERS!!!
Sorry bud. I have the research, so before you open up your stupid mouth, learn to research yourself: www(period)globalresearch(period)ca/articles/APA401A(period)html. It some stupid lazy guy in an Apache looking for an excuse to kill people in their own country.
Hey, nice research to a Web page that does not link. Maybe try typing it again, ok? And clearly this is an arms deal. For Christ's sake, when the Apache first shoots 240 at them, they try to pull the RPG out of a sack to fire it.
Its already proven they were farmers, but for benefit of the doubt; if they had really been arms instead of farmers, dealing weapons is not illegal.. Those people were no threat to the Apache helicopter high above, so the enagagement is techincally against the rules, nor can you kill someone thinking they might be an insurgent or might kill in the future. For the website, replace (period) wit an actual "." Youtube doesn't allow URL in comments, because of spam.
First of all, no, it is illegal to deal weapons, especially in Iraq. Second, if anyone is seen carrying anything more than a rifle over there, they are to be engaged--this is the ROE. This clearly was an RPG pr some similar device.
Yes, dealing weapons is illegal. Obviously. They weren't a threat to the helicopter, but they were a threat to other soldiers. You can kill people for dealing weapons.
Then maybe people should kill everyone that smokes cigarettes under age or deals with things "illegal" according to your logic. Maybe they should kill those apache pilots for being "assholes", that would be an interesting law to wouldn't it. Or how about, if you're a farmer, you will get killed in Iraq, its called the no farmers left behind act...fool
