Sarcastic remarks to a serious subject.

The US guy in the helicopter clearly enjoys killing and is looking for any excuse to do so.
There were clearly no weapons or “RPGs and AK47s”, nor were the passengers in the bus picking up weapons.
The bus that tried to pick up the wooded had children in it.
Initially the US denied they had killed anyone in the incident and blamed it on terrorists killing each other.
The US has been saying the Iraqis’ are running the show and they only engage in fire after a request by the Iraqis’. That is clearly untrue.
Does this type of action my the streets of London safer?
````

It wasn't sarcastic at all, it was a serious question. If you had said "this is terrible" and posted it would have been different, but you started with an imperative...

Fukk all. But you can't spoil the hopes are dreams of an entire segment of society, especially the young.

Agree with them, tell them to demo, nod knowingly, tell them to go over their Project Managers head. You know, let them find out it's all futile for themselves.

Oi MF... language.

Well thats a load of bollocks. People power, demonstrations, writing to MPs, voting, lobbying!!! Basically all the sort of socialist things students, unions and layabouts on benefits have time for.

All of this is going on in "our names", unfortunately, however unpallatable we find it, there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Also unfortunately it has always happened in every conflict especially where urban fighting occurs and doubly so when guerilla tactics are employed. The difference is these days so much is recorded, filmed and instantly available, in the past this sort of incident wouldn't have come to light to upset anyone.

Civilian casualties happen in urban fights, they're utterly impossible to avoid.

...Whoever made it has absolutely no skill at all. 3 minutes of very slow, very dull preamble...

I think it was to cater for the audience who have difficulty reading if you chop off their index finger.

Watched it:

1. 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
   
2. They were hardly laughing and cheering. For guys in combat they seemed very calm and professional.

Did it say in the text that no weapons were found? I skipped bits
At least one seemed to carrying a rifle.

We don't know that is the view from the helicopter do we (there is more than one towards the end)?
The way it goes in circles like that had me thinking it's the film from UAV or something like that.

Agree, yes the gunner was a bit gungho but compared to half the other US footage I've seen these guys were quite sober about it. Anyway, it's hardly relevant if they enjoying killing or not, it just grates as viewer to hear/see it.

Yes the Americans can be trigger happy, but these days it seems a fair few other nations are joining in that party.
