I thought the whole idea was to shoot the enemy. I wouldn't give them any chances to shoot back.

I remember a conversation with one of my pilots when I was a crewchief on an AH-64's in the 101st a while back  (desert storm)  I wasn't there, they were............

They had some targets in FLIR.  they also had some obvious people running around.  They were military targets fair game.  If i remember correctly they were miltary trucks towing artillery.  He said they put a few 30mm rounds in front of the truck, very much startling the people there because they were so far away they did not even hear the rotor's.  After the people had fled for shelter they put some laser guided helfires on the artillery rendering them useless.  

He said he knew those people did not want to be there but they both had jobs to do, he just wanted to take out the military targets.

i'll always remember that conversation.


I always hope that all people on both sides of the trigger have that much compassion and control.

It's too bad they weren't carrying any flechette rockets.

I didnt know it was against Geneva convention to shoot a wounded enemy.

Also - how would he pilot/gunner have known whether or not the Iraqi was still able to fire on them?  assuming he had he rpg he could still fire it when wounded.

war is hell.  and that is the reason we should not ever rush into war.

the wounded man wanted to live all he had to do is sit still or roll in the same spot. Crawling towards his SA-7,Stinger or whatnot RPG crap isnt a good idea. Seriously if there is a man with a few cuts 10ftin front of you who wants to kill you "Amerika is teh suXX0r people and he is crawling towards a gun what would you do?

Did you see the video?  He wasn't moving towards a gun or anything, he was just writhing in pain and floundering around in the open.

Sucks to be him then.  Shouldnt have tried his crap in the first place then its war remember

edit: better make myself clear. next time there is a "Heat"style bank robbery in your area I dare you to drive at the nearest police roadbloack and pull out one of those handycams that are black and fit in the palm of your hand and charge the officcers and see where it gets ya.

Allegedly, the Geneva convention thinks differently.

So what if American POW's were tortured in Vietnam?  They shouldn't of 'tried their crap.'

Ok here is an enemy with a gun, I could care less if he was a nazi with an 88 pointed at a sherman, an American with a thompson, or whatnot pointed at the protaganist of this tale as long as he has the ability to shoot you, it is A-OK to shoot him. Do you know how simple it is to operate an RPG or SA-7 or Stinger? Do you know how many time people with "mortal" wounds continued and killed? look up Baby Face Nelson.  Its war, war sucks. if there is an enemy near a gun and he doesnt surrender then he needs to be killed. But if he surrenders then its a different story. and if you go against the rules of warfare then one needs to be punished.
