Re: WikiLeaks publishes apparent negligent attack on civillians in Iraq video
It's posts like these that make me weep for humanityOk, this video is just horrible. It seriosly makes me sick.
But then, I (as a sergeant) have full understanding as to why this happened. Do not get me wrong though, I UNDERSTAND why it happened, it doesnt mean I like it.
Get some backwater 20ish year olds into an apache, load them up with ammo, have them fly over an area and tell them horror stories about helis shot down. Guess what the result is?
I dont blame the idiot behind the gun, except for signing up for the military in the first place. I do however blame whoever it was who started this war, in this case, the US population who didnt give Bush a big laugh when he wanted to attack Iraq.
I remember a video of Saddam Hussein inviting Bush for a talk man to man... On neutral ground with live cameras. Maybe that would have saved the people on that street?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
