That's like suicide

Considering he looks banged up and its called "helicopteriraq" maybe he survived a helicopter crash?

I watched it without sound (too late, don't want to wake up anyone)

Why was the guy shot?


Because he was American. That is my best guess. I didn't recognize the uniform though.

BTW, this is not the reality of war, this is the reality of fighting the lowest scum on the planet.

Looks like he got up and started walking fine.

They are probably trained to hide and wait for help though.
 
The reality of the matter is while there are real jerks out there in Iraq showing this kind of BS sensationalizes it. By the CIA's own reports there are an estimated 16,000 insurgents in Iraq (from last year's figure), and a total population of 26 million people in Iraq. That works out to .06% of the population.
 
If it's the video I think it is ... insurgents shot it down. The only survivor was the pilot and they came up and killed him. I am not sure if he was American. He might have been European Ally. I saw the clip in a documentary called Private Soldiers.

Agreed. Thanks for the warning, all.
EDIT:

I'll go one more. I think the mods should ban all this snuff crap. That was somebody's son or brother or father, and we are some real sick, disrespectful pukes for even thinking of looking at it. Sure, it is out on the net, but just like foul language, we don't need to repeat it here.
 
go islam!
think the ayatolah issued another fatwa on torturing and killing homosexuals too. goddamned primitives. the new reality of islamofacism.
