AC 130 Gun Ship Attack

Infanteer & RoyalHighlandFusilier: I see your points and understand them fully. We could go back and forth for a while here, but we are unlikely ever going to see eye to eye on this issue.
Yes, that is true. However, we one day will have to live with the consequences, while you won‘t.

Cheers

Infanteer and RHF, just watched the video and my heart was pumping watching those indivuduals running for their lives and absolutely naked to attack. To be honest it was very emotional. But as it ended I said to a co-worker (his brother is a captain with the first Stryker brigade in Iraq) that they (Al Queda) shouldn‘t have ****ed with the U.S. - what were they thinking. Because this is the brutal response that we can deliver. And thus the whole purpose of a strong Army, to defend but also to hopefully deter potential aggessors. It does suck to be those victims on the ground and it sucks for their families but they signed up for their cause and knew what to expect. So, no sympathy here and to **** with fighting fair in war. I believe SunTzu‘s Art of War has an excerpt directly related to not fighting fair or balanced on the battlefield. You go in expecting to fulfill your mission in any way possible. And having an edge or an advantage whether it‘s NODs or Spectre Gunships or the biggest tank on the block is a good thing.
 
Holy ***t, That is hot stuff! I sure love watching some stupid innocent goat-herders get ripped to pieces by artillery from the air. Sounds like the guys in the AC-130 were having a ball too. Great clip.
America has left a smoldering crater of freedom.

Did you realy hear the Air Crew having "A BALL" ?
Your Quote!

Well I‘ll tell you somthing now!
Those Men were not having "A BALL!!"
What you listened to was WAR!!

It‘s not "HOT STUFF"!!

I posted it here for those of us who are mature enough to see the value in the Lesson.
 
The one guy going "BOOM" all the time was a lil annoying...but a pretty good video...shows why you shouldn‘t attack people with big guns and night vision...perhaps this video will make jim or joe taliban think twice before piloting a large airliner

But on the other hand, where is the honour or even fairness of blowing someone away in the middle of the night as they take a crap, and they don‘t even know what hit them.

I realize snipers have this role in the battlefield, but even they are much more exposed then hiding in some Apache from 2 kilometers away on the other side of a mountian. And snipers play such a small role in combat, they are an acceptable cause. Not to mention the enemy has snipers as well. Does Joe Iraqi have counter-attack choppers to face his enemy man to man, vehicle to vehicle? No. He does not stand a chance of fighting for whatever he is fighting for...weather you agree with it or not. [/qb]
Dude, this video was shot over Afghanistan. Those were Al Qaeda or Taliban targets. Where is the honour in flying planes into buildings, killing thousands of innocent people?
 
No Afghani took part in the 9-11 attacks. Most highjackers were Egyptian and Saudi, the U.S. can‘t afford to upset these key strategic allies.

O yeah, those Yanks sure can identify targets well, don‘t you remember that they killed most of our men in Afghanistan ? the brits are also weary from incidents in Iraq. Any vehicle with tracks and a turret is a Republican Guard T-72 for a US pilot.
 
If you fight a fair fight, It‘ll come down to a war of attrition. If you take advantage, and exploit an enemy‘s weakness, chances stand that there will be less losses on both sides.

As for no Afghani taking part in the attacks.. well.. I remember hearing about something called "Al Qaeda Training Camps" in Afghanistan. And something else about these guys called the "Taliban" harbouring this terrorist group. Is the US justified to go and take them out in order to protect their own people from future attacks?

Oh wait, it was all about Afghanistan‘s vast oil supply. I forgot.
 
How the **** did the AC-130 operator know those were Taliban warriors, might as well been another wedding "blessed" with JDAM munitions like last time.

If you believe the US sends its assets blindly into these situations, then I guess we‘ll leave it at that.
 
And how do you know they are NOT? How do you know something beforehand did not happen that tagged them as enemy?
