Standard procedure is to fling body parts around and bleed a lot.

     Standard Taliban OP:  When uncertain, when in doubt...run in circles, scream and shout  

[eagl]

I wonder what folks on the ground do when this gun opens up on them???

I think mostly they die.  Either screaming from frag hits or quickly as they get turned into human confetti from a direct hit.

Act dead, dive in water, or run inside a holy place... use politics to protect you, not wave and say hi to the camera...
What am i saying?!

My goodness, I did not realize what an absolute killing machine this plane is.

Checkout this amazing combat video footage from the war:

I guess that I must stand corrected about the 105mm   I did not realize how huge its fragmentation explosions were.

awsome video

[Rino]

     I think you can crueler using the 40mm than the 25.  Watched one AC-130 "chase" an insurgent down a road
with about 3 rounds, then when it looked like he was just about to reach cover..KaBlaam!  Game over.

QFT+1 and that is exactly what a friend of mine who has flown on multiple deployments and the pilot flying those birds out of Hulbert Field has said. A couple of years ago just as his last combat deployment he took us on a tour of the squadron building down there. I have some photos of our two boys putting on the helmets in the equipment check area. I just have to find them.

at the end of the film! listen to what the guy says... "I know there's two guys i saw them flying apart..." "i saw him die earlier... it was a 40 round" The tone of voice is killing me!!!

There was only one smart Tailban in that entire video.

He ran back into the Mosque!!

I think that all the rest probably died.

Awesome video 

[Ex-jazz]

Folks... These flicks are not from the video game playbacks.

Some real people out there in the internet wonderland could be watching how their husbands, sons, brothers or even wifes & babies (inside of the buildings) are mutilated and/or dieing.

What you would feel in such situation?

I guess I would've wished they'd have zigged instead of zagged.

Perhaps they should have thought about it before they decided to fight. Maybe they were thinking about how they danced over the bodies of dead Americans that they mutilated then dragged around. It could be that they thought about the last person they beheaded or the bomb they built that detonated in the market place where there were families and kids.

Speculate all you want over what they or their families think or just go over and talk to them. War isn't nice and you just might want to go see what those nice folks post on al jazera for their idea of videos.

Some of 'them' cuts the heads off and all of 'them' are guilty: Lets kill 'them' all?

Some of 'them' justified the war, because of the all famous WMD's.



I'm just worried about how the door is gonna swing in long run.

     I know which side I'll be rooting for, why don't you pick one?
