War is ugly aint it? I really dont know what to think about that footage, but I'm glad it was them and not us!
Thanks for the link.
 
Note the "FLIR". According to the FBI, these were only 'sunspots."

im not up on my jargon :eek: ... what is FLIR and what does the FBI have to do with it ?
 
Forward Looking Infra-Red--FLIR.

On the final assault on the Branch Davidians in Tejas, Delta and the HRT shooters (and long gunners) were killing church members as they fled the structure. The FBI and the U.S. government said that the FLIR video was showing reflections from the sun on the muzzles of the M4s and HK54s.

ah ok... as in to cover up them gunning down the people.



and is it just me, or is there no quote button on this forum?
 
They really dont have ANY concept of our nightfighting capabilities over there do they? You can clearly see several "hiding" in plain sight. Im going to save this clip and show it to the next guy that thinks a new revolution is on its way headed by mall ninjas in pickups. I sure wouldnt want to be "fighting" those guys.
 
I've seen what quad .50's and 20mm Vulcans can do. I'm not surprised. You should see the after effects of a couple of passes by an AC-130 gunship.:what: Or ask the Iraqi's about "Steel Rain."
 
It seems like the sights are a bit off, and the rounds are hitting a couple of feet to the left.

I would guess that the camera and the actually gun aren't exactly inline?
 
Plinking farmers?

If you noticed the vehicle on the far left was a tractor, the tiller was attached and there were visible tiller marks behind it. As the one guy leaves the tractor and walks right, the other guy is adjusting his headdress so he can work on the tractor. You can see the furrows in the video.

The guy on the far right jumps under the truck when he sees his buddy explode for no reason. Why he came out I don't know.The guy working on the tractor didn't see a thing.

Without knowing the full story behind this assault it is very troubling.

They say farming is the most dangerous occupation in the U.S., same goes for Iraq I guess.
 
Maybe those "farmers" were harvesting cucumbers of mass destruction.

Plinking farmers. Didn't they do that in Vietnam?.
