It is sad to see this happen but if you listen to the audio transmissions it sounded as the helis were there to clear the way for the armored calvalrey. If it was me up there and I thought I saw enemeys preparing an ambush I would rather kill them then take a chance with my fellow soldiers lives.
Very sad situation but as said before war is not pretty

I totally agree with both of you. Late 2006-2007 was the deadliest time of the war for U.S. Troops. The pilots seemed like they were very trigger happy.
But,
Around that time there were constantly cerfews all around the country, sometimes for days on end, where they couldn't even leave their own property, and were not allowed to drive cars. The video doesn't mention any of this, but also why would it? The video tries to make the military look like all we did was rape and pillage the poor little Iraqi's. It fucking sickens me to no end that ALL the media ever tries to do is tell the public all the bad things that happen and never one good thing about the war in Iraq. Especially the hippies like Joesushi, that talk all the shit in the world about all the bad things the military has done, blah, blah, blah, but is/was too chicken shit to have ever served himself. I myself am a proud veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and have seen these things first hand, and that is why I feel this way.
