Video Released of US Military Slaughter of 12 Iraqi Civilians

these guys are cocksuckers

It's ugly. War is ugly. These men where cleared to fire. We can look at this from our chairs and state all sorts of moral high tone nothings. This, in all it's disgusting glory is war.

Do you think it isolated ? Do you think it only happens from Apache's ? I can assure you it happens and has been happening every day. What the hell did you think George was sending us to do ? What exactly was your expectation of what would happen when you put thousands of soldiers in a war zone.

I'm telling you right now I'd tell my men to gadamn shoot first, shoot often, and shoot to freaken kill. I was an American Soldier ! My job was to kill, crush, mutilate, and destroy the enemy with extreme prejudice. Horrible ? Absofuckinglootely. But if it's between one of my boys (or girls) coming home or some "Target" ... Boom ... not a second thought and wouldn't interrupt my meal. I'm not writting a letter to someone's mother and father stating ... "Your brave son was shot and killed in action while confused as to whether to shoot or not." ... "F that !" GAWDAMMIT SHOOOOOT !!!!!!

This is PRECISELY why we should have thought long and hard in the first place before sending our warriors to some fucking shithole foreign land without any freaken plan.

These men are heroes. No, not like the fake one's on TV. These are real men doing EXACTLY what they're supposed to do to the best of their ability. They are our nation's soldiers.

Our nation should thank these men emphatically and forever. We should offer these men healthcare and as much therapy as is available. Eventually, after decades the nightmares do come less often.

Iraq is defeated, they're screwed, they've lost. We WON ! Now get our kids back here with a quickness so I can line up to watch the parades and shake lots of hands.

But you guys are right. There is indeed wrongdoing here. The criminals here and the same the world over are the ones you never see.

They where the ones to sent these boys there in the first place.

by the way... that shit does not look like an AK... play bond bitches

You arrogant asses... war is a tragedy on all sides... Nothing about this attack was justified, lack of knowledge does not rationalize shooting at a group of people... We as Americans should be equally as upset for this mistake... was it our intention to free a nation or just shoot em up... A bunch of eager trigger happy fucks flying around asking to shoot... i hope all men in the helicopters are found guilty of war crimes... And yes i am an American and yes i am f-in pissed. We embarrass ourselves in front of the world...

This is not the exception. It is the rule.

this is some of the coolest footage you'll ever get to see. can't wait for more to get released. thanks guys!

This is just plain slaughter. From this distance. it cannot be determined if the people are terrorists or innocent civilians as in this case. Suppose when they declare martial law in the USA this happens to all people who go out shopping, people who may have bought a broom ot a bag with a stalk of celery pertruding. They can just blow them away and claim calateral damage and that it seems is what all humans have become to a generation of video game professionals and military strategists..

I have a thermal imaging video of a Warthog (U.S.) plane shooting suspected terrorists at night. From two miles out these unsuspecting men are decimated by machinegun fire. It is very disturbing. And we all know that I am no friend of Muslim extremists. The available technology to attack from a great distance is incredible. However, I do not suppose it to be adequate to defeat a determined, dedicated enemy. Seeing men shot into pieces is not my idea of entertainment.

holy shit

voted up! I'm going to share my thoughts
At first I was angry but then I realized the blame doesn't lie with these soldiers, or even the military it lies with us... or society. Actually I'm really angry...
Say what you want but we support this military complex, war, imperialism, nonsense we pay taxes, we work for companies who pay taxes, we vote for politicians, we support the economic system which inherently benefits war, profiteering, and corruption.
Everyone wants to say we need more laws, more regulations, more papers, are you fucking kidding me!! We have a trillion laws, regulations, and let me tell you something every single law has a loophole a way around it, a total bs way to say you didn't break the law but somehow dabbled in the act. Right now some lawyer is figuring out how to break a law legally because again we support a system were it benefits a lawyer to do so financially. So no laws are fucking useless, absolutely useless, they don't prevent crime, create healthy societies, all they do is try to band aid a gash, and that gash is societies ignorance.
I hold society (myself included) in contempt because we did nothing to make a truly better society, capitalism? --- puhhhleassee we make shit technology planned to become obsolete in a few years and poor people still starve, socialism is nicer but again its not doing nearly enough. Democracy? --- sorry its a joke, a farce, at best it looks good in history books with men of stature signing stuff to make us feel good, but in the end we're still killing each other, our kids are becoming less educated than the previous generations, and poor people don't vote because of social stratification. Freedom? -- I was born free, however we have to keep reminding people they're free every f-ing day, is that sane?
My gripe as I said is us, we haven't even created a truly egalitarian society, nor will we ever in this structure. If those soldiers were educated would they join the military? would they posses the critical thinking skills necessary to understand the cause of wars, conflicts, hell if all society was truly educated at the highest possible standard would anyone go to work for the man/machine/whatever? I highly doubt

I propose a simple solution, drop in & drop out. Stop doing anything that supports the system and watch it collapse. No workers, no economy and boom game over. Now people usually say something like how will we eat or live, and again the solution is simple... who the hell is going to enforce the law in a convulsing economy, hence no one will kick you out of your home. If a farmer can feed everyone for money would he feed everyone for the good of society. Would a doctor heal people if he knew the farmer was feeding everyone, would someone steal if all their needs where covered (food, shelter, health, education)? Its the only solution, and I'm not promoting anarchy either. Activism is a moot point an effort in futility so save the effort.

Yes society can function without money, I know its mind blowing isn't it?

Sorry for the rant but not the way I like to start my tuesday morning.

Who are the terrorists again?
