actually Tamil Tigers are not doing it for religious or muslim reasons, they are hindu based but their suicide terrorism is almost purely political. yep not all suicide bombings in the world are muslim based, in fact most of them are not.

watching this video again (go figure) i just had to wonder exactly WTF the pilots were seeing when they say they see weapons and all that's going on is people nonchalantly walking down the street. perhaps they've been taking too much fighter pilot speed to stay awake. i hear amphetamines give you pretty weird visuals if you take them too long in one sitting

Thanks for pointing that out. Few know that the LTTE were the first to really develop and utilize the tactic in the early 80s, before it became common in the Arab-Israeli conflict, Chechnya, and the Iraq war.

yeah what drugs do they put them on these days? 'pep pills' as the pilots call them are still given out to people who fly planes, does the same apply to helicopter pilots/gunnerS?

whatever the case is, even if they aren't intoxicated by amphetamines, they are intoxicated by blind sided adrenaline and sadism

i wonder what a rush it might be for a console war game addicted

anybody see the full video (the 35 minute one) where it shows a civilian walking in the front of that building right when they shoot a missle into it? There is zero mention of the dude walking by any of the gunners or people on the radio.. Anyone else find the lack of concern disturbing? They totally ignore his presence

yeah the gunner himself actually says he's having a brain-fart and can't find the manual-advancement button, so heh.

Julian Assange of Wikileaks claims that 2 entire families of 4 died in that missle blast

can someone find the Bill Hicks standup clip of him making the comparison to american foreign policy to a Jack Pallance Western? "come on pick up the gun"

i want to do a youtube video where i cut back and forth to Hick's standup routine and the audio from this shooting video

edit: shit just keeps getting worse, 2 witnesses on the ground now claim that the 'body' they ran over was in fact a living person who was badly wounded and actually very slowly trying to crawl to safety. He was dead the moment the tank ran over him

for a dose of how people suffering extreme cognitive dissonance think see

This is a GREAT video, it shows how efficient our military is. It also shows the number of hoops our soldiers go through before they engage. Lastly it shows how our soldiers quickly transition from life-takers to life-savers when enemy or innocents are wounded. God Bless our military, and God Bless all the men involved with this one incident. I hope they don't regret or feel bad about anything in this video. I also pray and hope that the military has their men's backs and don't cave to the liberal leaning media.

thank God for blessing our soldiers!

brings to mind the old adage 'reality has a well-known liberal bias'

so,

basically,

yall went on an internet witch hunt because you don't understand any protocol or warfare engagement listed in the video (basically, you have no experience or any idea except for what the video was telling you)... and instead chose to let your emotions get the better of you and partake in an internet witch hunt.

and now the internet realizes all along they were wrong. facts > emotion.

ugh for fucks sake this isn't "liberal" its just ILLEGAL

i would say most communists and anarchists are as unrealistic in their principles as neo-cons.

someone in this thread said earlier, at least the neo-cons admit that they truly believe in the worth of this sort of behavior.

Yeah, I guess it isn't being discussed because it didn't involve the reporters, which is pretty fucked up (as if this whole wasn't already disturbing enough). It's like these bastards were just trying to use all their weapons before the sortie ended.

"It shows how efficient our military is." Are you fucking serious? I'm also sure concetration camps are effecient ways of committing genocide. The same person who commented probably flipped out when those 4 blackwater workers were killed, burned, and hung in Fallujah. You can't pick sides when it comes to atrocities...such people are absolutely insane.

Some have mentioned that the the[sic] soldiers treated this like a video game. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Thank you.

the second time they almost shoot there's about three people in the vicinity of the building..

i knew there was a lot of collateral damage in this conflict, judging by this video.. not surprising if this is the way things are done

i'm really just being ironic.

as for the comparison, well, in this part of the world, communists and anarchists are extreme left-wing movements, not liberal. simply using the term 'neo-con' will have you labeled as a liberal though.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Back 2008 Ron Paul, libertarians, paleoconservatives/Alex Jones fan were silenced by the GOP and labeled extremists. Then Tea Party nonsense hijacked the loose idealogies, distorted the hell out of it, and now anyone who isn't a contridictory, anti-government/anti-Obama right winger is considered a liberal traitor. GOP is still peddaling same neo-con agenda in a different skin...notice that despite all of the paranoid anti-federal, militia-esque attitude they still support the war of terror? Things are absolutely mental.

i feel that a comment like that is to be taken seriously, because there are a shit load of people in america who would agree. shit, half the people on my street would agree with this jargon. scary really.

When I hear the soldier say "come on, let us shoot!" it makes me feel sick.

However this could be because I'm really hungooover.

it's not a joke mesh gear, you simply don't know enough americans.

i'm serious. you guys should see some of this discussion on a local message board. and i live in bluestate new york. i'd say most (over 51%) people here think these attacks are justified or at least have no ethical problems with it.
