Please watch this

I understand that it's a peculiar human condition to make light of tragedies such as this, with throwaway comments and flippant remarks.

Somebody once said to me that it's a coping mechanism of sorts.

Does laughter, however in poor taste, inure one from the sheer horror of it all ? Should laughter be used in this way as a form of desensitisation ?

I'm not suggesting that I am an arbitrater of what people should and shouldn't do. What interests me is what they do and why they do it.

I once worked with a chap who had to crack a joke at everything in the office. Every sentence would end with a low chuckle. I used to watch him and listen to his words, study his body language and his timing, and I got the impression that he didn't have the confidence to say something, without getting some sort of comedic approval from the group.

People watching is fascinating.

Isn't it just? It's especially entertaining from your self-appointed moral high-ground, eh BGG?

Try Modern Warfare 2...

In addition to it being in HD, the further advantage is that if it actually is an RPG that someone is aiming at you, falling from the sky is less damaging than in real life.

I'm a fan of Battlefield 2.

Where did I mention morals ?

Find someone else to cock your leg and satisfy your epeen.

Also good.. I like the fact that more of the terrain is destroyable in Battlefield, but I find MW2 more slick and prefer the maps..

XBL or PS3 Churchy?

How was the "video" obtained?

It was handed to WikiLeaks by an anonymous source, presumably within the US military. It is freely available from WikiLeaks to anyone who wants to see it.

Wikileaks

It's been the subject of repeated FOI requests from the french press agency whose journalists were apparently killed in the incident. Those requests have been refused by the us military.

Your whole post stinks of self-rightiousness (holier-than-thou: excessively or hypocritically pious)

Watched it:

1. Whoever made it has absolutely no skill at all. 3 minutes of very slow, very dull preamble.
   
2. They clearly thought the guys had some weapons, if you're a soldier you're probably going to be cautious when your life's at risk
   
3. They were hardly laughing and cheering. For guys in combat they seemed very calm and professional.

Ah well, sh!t happens. For a start if they hadn't been there it wouldn't have happened, secondly, let God sort 'em out.

If you're in a war zone, war happens. End of.

Because it's not as elegantly put as this drivel you mean.

/yawn.

Same old record.

Do you deliberately scan anything I say for piety and self-righteousness, even when it's not there ?

Are you the new Piety and Moral Admin Police ?
