Re: Helicopter shot down north of Baghdad
I've just read thro' this car-crash of a thread and can't quite believe the content.
All is NOT fair in war and just because the enemy violates a multitude of stipulations, doesn't mean that we have to do the same. If they prove themselves to be callous murderous bastards then why follow suit. They gunned down your comrade in cold blood but be the better man and treat his captured comrades with dignity. There is no advantage to be gained by being equally inhuman.
Apart from anything else, it isn't like a tactic we have to use to demoralise the enemy forces. What's left of them, anyway.
I totally agree with Dave's posts; I don't buy into this eye for an eye shit.
Btw, that pic of the suicide bomber and his supposed killer - the soldier is pictured in Kosovo (does the scenery even look like Iraq :blink:) - he'd have to be a damn good shot to get him from there.

it's funny - i was chatting to my friend who saw this pic and i suggested it looked like a shot from a .50 cal barratt rifle. they're a powerful gun, and i knew that by the look of the pic it must have been one.
should have put money on it eh :rolleyes:
Interweb legends rawk, but don't bet on them ;)
Re: Helicopter shot down north of Baghdad
I love the smell of pwnage in the afternoon.
btw I see that picture is still up yet I recall other members being banned/moderated just for posting links to such pictures. Hmm?
Re: Helicopter shot down north of Baghdad
it also says KFOR on the vehicle. i don't think there's KFOR in iraq is there?

I could care less about the photo's authenticity.
Tbh mank, I would hate if our soldiers started filming the killing of unarmed folks for effect.
I think some have pointed out that making someone pose nude doesn't compare to the helicopter crash doohicky. I must agree.
Re: Helicopter shot down north of Baghdad
Back on topic (sorta), why hasn't that pic been reported yet?
Re: Helicopter shot down north of Baghdad
Yeah. Okay.
This is not a place to argue/flame other members, if you want to argue/flame, PM the other member. I tried my best to clean it all up, stop now or the thread will be closed.

Quite, doesn't make the humiliation okay tho'. We must not allow our own standards to degrade because of the actions of others.
Regarding the photo's authenticity - it doesn't matter in the context, I just thought it funny that a, ahem, military expert can decide from the state of a person's splattered head the weapon used to cause the carnage yet couldn't tell that the assailant had woodland camouflage on, in a lush green area with the code for a Kosovo armament on his vehicle :lol:

Wow. I didn't think you guys were moderating stuff anymore. This thread should have been closed a long time back. :dry:
