:Q

LOL that's nothing compared to what the new avionics suite in the Delta models can do. The battlefield data analyzing and prioritizing is amazing. Read up on it if you get the time.

Yea, I was thinking: combat sometimes can be so unfair with night vision, accurate weapons, and other technology (good thing for US military).

I would be more impressed by the US military if we actually did something for the advancement of mankind. I would be more proud of this country if we spread good values around the world.

you have to have good values before you can start spreading them.

um... it said nothing about setting up a roadside bomb in the notes.

do you just make stuff up when you don't know the answer?

This video was taken from an AH64 gunship two and a half miles away. The guys in the video are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the video was taken.

Can you read?

i think raildogg means we all need to convert to Islam so there is no more war.

There will always be evil-doers in the world. Thank God there is a compassionate superpower such as the US who's willing to fight evil so that the people who believe good and evil is a relative point of view can post stupid things on the intarweb.

Yea i know.. 2.5 miles..that'd ridiculously far. I'm startled at the relative accuracy of the machine gun at that range.

Not to detract from the distance feet, it's not really a conventional machine gun...it's a 30mm cannon.

That's all fine and dandy but first you have to get rid of the bad people. And since everyone seems to have a different idea as to who the bad people are... well, you see the problem.

Some people here regard me as being a muslim hater, so I find it funny you think I want people to convert to Islam.

As for Iraq, that was a failure from the start and we are losing there. What is the benefit to us there? Keep in mind that at one point I was supportive of us being there long term and at one time I supported Bush.

Seriously, it was a waste of tax payer money, time and effort and I have not even touched the loss of life.

We should have concentrated on Afghanistan.

But yeah, you can assume all you want and come to those great conclusions.

Those people in the video are bad people.

The war in Iraq was a mistake and the only people who benefitted are our enemies. It made us a joke worldwide. The people who previously somewhat liked us now hate us.

We humans have to think about humanity as a whole.

Figure out where I stand on issues before making stupid posts.

 

[Lurknomore]

I've read somewhere that the 2nd dude was waving a surrender flag, but I could be wrong.

Classic vid, btw.

 

[thehstrybean]

Seen it before, but it's still awesome...

The thing is it may not benifit a person here in america or it may but the thing is none of those people were benifiting from the way they were living.
I think it was the right thing to do, and we have every right to be over there its our job as a superpower to make sure other governments dont abuse there people.
Unfortunatly the people dont think the same so our governments dont intervene in all affairs, so thats the only poor job going on by the military and or government.
Its like you being 250 pounds and seeing a big kid pick on a 130 pound geek. Do you walk by or do you stop it. I believe in stopping it but others would rather chant and watch the geek get a beat down.

I'm a vet you fvcking prick. You tell the soldiers in the streets kicking in doors about how sitting miles away from your target is sacrifice and see what they say. Don't presume to know a damn thing about me either you fvck.

 

[darkxshade]

With that kind of surveilance and firepower, why did we send in thousands of soldiers to die?

 

[Svnla]

Humm, saw the clip and I am wondering why the pilots had to blow off the third guy? He was wounded and barely able to craw <no longer a deadly threat>.

Edit: Another thing, with all those equipments and machines, why can't we stop the roadside bombings? I heard it is going on daily in Iraq and seem never stop.

So why aren't you enlisted?

The time I already put in isn't enough for you? What the hell do you want my blood too? Motherfvckers. You probably think all there is to war is sitting at a fvcking computer screen and typing in coordinates.

"Uh, yeah Jim. It looks like he's down."
"Great work Fred, pass me one of those doughnuts."
