Disgusting, shocking and appauling. Yes, this was a terrible thing to happen, and it is questionable whether they should have shot on them originally. I did not see any guns, or anything that could have been a gun. What sickens me, is after they are shot down, clearly some of them are dead, some are alive and crawling away. This is where the crimes (imo) occured, if someone is clearly disarmed, crawling away. Then you cannot 'finish them off'. Its illegal to shoot on them. This is a war, wars have international laws that have to be followed, yes insurgents dont follow them, they use these laws AGAINST us. Yet we cant stoop to their level, we have to follow them.

The fact the chopper gunner was saying "All you gotta do is pickup a weapon". Hes looking for a fight, hes looking for a reason to kill.

Now with shooting the van, to me they should have notified whoever they are talking to, that a vehicle has stopped. They should not have fired upon them, it was clear they were trying to pickup the body/help the guy survive. If they had weapons, or poked one out the window then yes shoot it. But you cannot assume its bad. You have to have proof.

Pilots and soldiers are trained to recognise weapons, they are trained to look at photos and videos and spot who is legit and who are suspicious people. In my opinon, this training failed with these two pilots and gunners.

We are all looking through the window, we dont know exactly what happened, we don't know what happened the day before to these soldiers, we dont know if they lose any of their friends.

Its shit like this, that makes blue on blue attacks happen, I'm not surprised its the US involved, considering all the friendly fire they cause.

Hindsight, is 20/20 vision...
