I saw the video. What can be seen in the video is exactly what the gunner saw. I saw an RPG on a guys shoulder, and it looks like he was going to try and make a shot.
Now we know that the guy with an RPG was actually a guy with a camera. But like I said - From the comfort of my own home, with no pressure on me, I saw a guy with an RPG. You can't blame the soldiers, who also saw a guy with an RPG (except in their minds, he was a threat to their lives) for fucking those dudes up.
Besides. It's a god damn war zone. What the fuck are guys with cameras doing walking around like that any way? It's their own damn fault, especially when you are peeking around the corner with your shoulder on your back at a god damned gunship.
It seriously aggravates me that this is under such heavy scrutiny. Just leave them the fuck alone and let them do their jobs, isn't it enough that they are risking their lives? I am not a big pro war type of guy, but this type of garbage just boils my piss.WTB late model, anywhere on the east coast will go as far west as Texas for the right car at the right price. 5 speed 6cyl only.

There were certainly parts I disagree with, particularily the taunting and jeering "come on, all you have to do is pick up a gun. You can do it" but overall I tend to side with the soldiers more often than not. It's a hellish atmosphere to be in and a high tension situation. It would have taken 5 seconds for an RPG shot to kill the entire crew.
