People bash the United States of America because lately they've been up to no good. People bash other countries for exactly the same reason. Furthermore, the US isn't the most superior country to begin with, so it's no fault for people to point out America's shortcomings. Intense criticism is the best way to improve anything.
By watching the video, it seems like the command the helicopter was in contact with didn't have access to their video feed. I honestly can't say why they wouldn't want to take the time to double-check the pilots' assessments, because clearly there was little evidence of weapons or insurgency. Really, if you're going to invade a country, be careful what you do. You can come in for all the right reasons, but having constant fuck-ups like this is just going to breed more anti-occupation sentiments.
