EDIT:

OK. Gentlemen.

There were some things I wasn't aware of when I posted this thread.
Primarily the issue of graphic "kill" videos being posted or people shown being killed. Now I am aware.

I kindly ask you all to refrain from any further posts in this thread.

Once the moderators and administrators have decided on this we can continue the discussion, if appropriate.

Thank you.

SALUTE !

Pretty good, though long, gets better in the 2nd half, around 05:10.

Poster's comment:

Poster: 1LTCobraPilot: "All this footage is either from my personal camera I had in Iraq, and recorded footage from the Cobra I was flying that records use of the weapons system. With the exception of the brief CNN footage about the battle of Tikrit which I played a major role in. I flew with the Marine Light/Attack Helicopter Squadron 269. Semper Fi!"

Enjoy !

WARNING: There are people getting killed in this video. Though you do not see it that directly. I did'nt make the video so no whining to me please.

I do feel sorry for those on the receiving end. RIP and all the best, sincere wishes for whatever life is next, if any.

Amazing the damage one attack helo can do. It brings back some memories to be sure watching that Cobra in action. Theve been around since Nam.

Ageing but still a mean bird.

I find it interesting that we bemoan the 'terrorists' making their sniper videos and car bomb videos yet many of us in the military can't wait to watch some cool Apache or A-10 gun camera footage and then save it to show all our friends.

The sniper videos are incredible, the skill, tact, and courage. Tremendous. I'm glad for all these video sites at least you can see what's going on, on the ground.

Sniper videos are fine but should we be showing them I have no problem with them showing them. AS to the car bombs these are intended to kill civilians so no I dont think any should be shown. Do any of us think its cool to kill. I doubt it.
