Yeh I just got done watching the 39 minute version. And it really didnt seem that out of hand to me.
What i got form the video is that a Mech Infantry unit on an operation in the neighborhood was engaged by insurgents, firefight ensued. Then an Apache was called in to engage the insurgents and witnessed group of armed men in the area of where fire was received. Apache lays shit down and then mech infantry on ground goes to the site of the attack. finds one dude slumped over an unexploded RPG round, lol...and unfortunately some idiot thought it was a good idea to bring their kid to pick up a wounded dude(one of the journalists?) in his van...fuckin genius right there. 2nd group of armed men observed, and building where they went to was destroyed by hellfires.
the only fucked up thing was that idiot bringing his kid(s) to where a firefight was going down.
and these photographers or journalists are haning out with armed insurgents in Iraq..in fuckin 2007..the height of the surge when violence was fucking out of control...and they get killed...sad? yes. But the same shit happens when journalists embed with US. British, Canadian etc military units in Afghanistan or Iraq. Just recently a Canadian journalist was killed in Kandahar Province afghanistan embedded with Canadian Soldiers in Afghanistan. She along with i think 4 or 5 Canadian soldiers were killed when their vehicle hit an IED.

all is fair in love and war, fuck it.
this aint no video game where you trying to figure out who the friendly farmer is, all the while the sniper is hiding behind a treebush.
you only have a couple of seconds to differentiate the situation, and somtimes the innocent are there, unfortuantely. but its a war situation.
everything that gets in the way gets killed.

I don't support the killing of innocent civilians, but if I was in the Apache and seen some guys I was told had weapon. Then fuck yeah I'm going to mow every single mother fucker down. I'm not going to take the time to see who is who and get shot thinking "well... I guess that guy was trying to kill me - lol @ me /dead"
