Collateral Murder - Wikileaks - Iraq

Recommended Posts

Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007.

^Actually, it is kinda killing game for them. the worste is their insensitivity towards the feeling of other civilians (unarmed people) in the area. Look at when people came to help the wounded soldiers were given the go-ahead to spray-bullet them all anyone inside the van and near it. It then later showed there were two children in the van.

 

For sure these kinda things (killings of innocent civilians) will haunt these soldiers for the rest of thier lifes
