The Cockpit Video
Starts at 1:25 (Just after the intro)

It's extremely graphic...

[democrank]

1. I can not believe what I just saw

on CBC......the cockpit video. We just killed them.Dead. I am so sick of this.

[glarius]

3. I watched it on CBC too....

It was sick....sorry to say this...but it was!!

9. Afghanistan

This video reminds me of the "friendly fire" incident a couple of years ago when 4 Canadian soldiers were killed. Same green-hued night vision video....ame raspy radio commands.....and then the orders to shoot.

[Oddman]

2. Oh my god . . .

That has got to be one of the most disturbing videos I have seen. They didn't even know if they were civilians or not!!!

This is outrageous and disgusting. Shooting a man trying to crawl away . . .

Speechless . . .

Blood is on the hands of our Lady MacBush.

Out damn bush! Out, I say!!

6. No

"That has got to be one of the most disturbing videos I have seen. They didn't even know if they were civilians or not!!!"

The CBC said that THEY didn't know. The CBC didn't know, that doesn't necessarily mean that the soldiers didn't know.

4. That's old

I saw it a few months ago. They are supposedly "insurgents."

[prolesunited]

7. So, that makes it OK

I guess I'm not up on my rules of engagement but simple humanity and compassion would prevent you from killing a wounded person who no longer poses a threat to you.

If he was an insurgent, why couldn't he have been taken as a POW?

[Mattforclark]

10. Did I say anything

that had anything do with your reply? Did I say that killing is a wonderful thing, or something like that?

"If he was an insurgent, why couldn't he have been taken as a POW?"

I don't know. I wasn't there. Were you?

[Failure]

5. Not a legitimate kill...IMO...especially the guy who was

crawling out from underneath the semi...writhing...


I saw this a long time ago on BushFlash.com...It gets me every time I see it.


Failure,.

8. It's like the helicopter scene in "Full Metal Jacket"

The door gunner firing on every Vietnamese peasant as they went by, yelling, "Get some, get some"

[Thrill]

11. Who is CBC?

Who's station is it?

[Mattforclark]

12. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation n/t

[riverwalker]

13. but there were no atrocities in Vietnam

thats what Karen Hughes said. "mah daddy told me so"

[MrSlayer]

14. This is old and they don't show the whole clip.

They cut out the whole beginning. The full clip was shown on ABC news months ago. They cut out the early part showing the Iraqi with the RPG. Should they have just let them shoot down the chopper? These guys were enemies and that is war. No one was going to come and help the crawling guy, it was more merciful to kill him. A truck just blew up in his face for Christ's sake, he was just going to suffer longer before dying anyway. By not showing the full clip you get a distorted image of what really happened, making it seem like a senseless slaughter rather than a military action against insurgents/freedom fighters who indeed meant them harm.

[Oddman]

15. Here is the whole clip . . .

Here is the whole clip and it is still very disturbing . . .

16. Thanks for the context and

I love your sig! Too funny. :-)

[DrWeird]

17. Yeah, that's relatively old.

You'll find there are a lot of apologists for it.
