Dead Iraqis Used as Barricade

For days after the Saddam-regime fell in 2003, US forces kept the bridges over Tigris blocked. On one of these bridges, burned out vehicles with dead Iraqis were used as barricade.

did you ever stop and think that maybe these iraqis tried to kill the troops.if you hate it so much why do you go there and flim. maybe you should film the stuff that they do to the us troops.

I film what I see. If I did see any abuse by Iraqis against US troops, I would have filmed it too, be sure of that.

You have to accept that every story has (at least) two sides.

Whats wrong with that? ITs a Barracade, who gives a shit whats in it. Their there to prevent an attack, not gather up the dead. War is war, this aint the first time.

I don't see any moral commentary attached to this video so I don't know why you hate on the poster/reporter that took it.

War is hell deal with it.

[Phedrus1975]

If these are front-line troops, they are right not to disturb the vehicles or the dead. Think contamination, IED threat, chemicals etc....

[bommer321]

So the dead body in the Humvee is not American? explain please? or was it civilian take a humvee for a drive day "rolls eyes"

[Eagleboy3000]

@refsdalmedia you remember that vid of the soldier getting his head cut off with a machete? remember how it wasnt a clean cut and they were hacking at the neck for a long time? At least we didnt mutilate their bodies. What did you want them to do pick up the burnt corpses? and move them to a disclosed location?

[kalashnikov47mf]

seeing the burnt corpse makes me smile.....severly disturbed

[hellagunner1]

War is a game where you throw skittles are each other and theres sunshine everywhere and hey! blood is pink! and when you get burned you go to heav.. hmm w/e you believe in..

[Sheepytown]

I was expecting a bunch of insurgent bodies being piled up like sandbags.

Reminds me of the bit in the movie 300
