I predict that a few people will laugh at this, then one guy will be offended, then everyone will jump on the PO'd guy for being a stick-in-the-mud, but a few will agree with him

IIRC those were brits doing that.

Those civil contractors are committing acts of terrorism in that trophy film. Were they treated as such?

I don't get it. Why would soldiers riding around in a car snipe at civilians?
-
AFAIK they're not soldiers they're british version of blackwater guys doing a little trophy movies for home.
Good old clean fun, murdering random commuters.
-
No brits should be allowed to have guns.... the magnetic field seems to drive them crazy... probly they have thin skulls or weak wills or something.

So they are just shooting at random cars or am i just not getting the video at all??? The rest are cool though!!!

They are NOT shooting at just any random car.
They're shooting at any car that overtakes them. Typically they're supposed to shoot into the ground ahead of the car as a warning, and then put a few into the engine if that doesn't work. If the car still rapidly approaches, they tend to walk the bullets into the driver.
The reason they do this is because for every 1 mistake that kills an innocent but stupid driver/family, there are 10 cases where as soon as the first bullet hits the car, it detonates with a huge explosion.
I read a letter from some guy to his dad about his first shoot while on convoy duty. He'd seen the techniques, but this was the first time he employed them. A car was catching up just like in that video. He fired a few into the ground, and the car floored it towards his vehicle. He instinctively opened up (he was manning a 30 cal if I recall correctly) into the car and it immediately detonated. The explosion was big enough that it probably would have flipped or otherwise destroyed the vehicle he was riding in, had they let it approach any closer.
The moral of the story is pretty much if you're an innocent driving in Iraq, never rapidly overtake, never approach an SUV/vehicle with guys taking shots out of the window, and if you ever ever see shots near your vehicle or hear bullet impacts, stop immediately and run like hell because most of the soldiers doing this kind of shooting really don't want to kill anyone, they just don't want to get blown up themselves.
BTW it's not just military and civilian "contractors" that do this... Any Iraqi leader, legit or not, does the same thing when in convoy from one place to another. That's probably why there is no great Iraqi uproar about this practice... The Iraqis pretty much know that active and aggressive measures are absolutely required for anyone of any importance to get around in Iraq, American or not.

Trust what you hear on the intardnet. It's obviously in full, well-documented, and well-explained context.

It is called AEGIS trophy video, a little search for AEGIS found me this: -

I though it was a Dale Carnegie training video.

Well first look at the video made it bad but what you guys have said make sense, thanks for clearing that up.
On a side note, I think it's time people stop video taping themselves in war, just doesn't seem to help anyone what so ever.

That's what I say, Abu Gahrib would have NEVER happened had the soldiers not been allowed to have cameras. ;)

Really? Let's see, the Beige Mercedes was trying to run a roadblock. Hint: Cars that are speeding in Iraq (99% of the Iraqis don't pretend to qualify for the Indy 500 time trials, and trying to overtake) will be shot.
My buddy works in Iraq right now and is protecting the convoys. He happens to be a Marine and from Kentucky / Alabama. He often writes of the candy giving to kids over there, but some of the "parents" literally force them to wear explosives and are literally bait to kill Troops. Sad thing is, the "parents" are using a Remote Detonating device. The most recent loss was a SAW gunner that was killed by an RPG.
Some of you guys are a piece of work, when you really don't know s*it.

So you fully support killing innocent drivers just because they're speeding? Killing 1% of all Iraqis (by your own words) is acceptable to you?

What do you expect them to write home about? Killing innocents for fun? Yeah, that'll go down easy with mom. :rofl

Here's another fact that most of you are unaware of. Women are being used as drivers (they don't drive in Iraq, the men do) with male passengers and trying to blow roadblocks.
I COMPLETELY support the killing of hostile persons over in Iraq. They KNOW what guidelines they have to follow and again 99% of them DO follow it. The Mercedes in the video was CLEARLY trying to run a roadblock. Notice the cars and trucks STOPPED at the roadblock.
Harry, you come across as someone who wants to think he knows what he is talking about. Please, stop posting, your ignorance is starting to surface. My buddy doesn't brag about being over there and having to shoot people. He's a Marine and was in Bosnia doing the same thing.

Well now that the film was put in the correct context it does look completely different. By placing happy music and misinformation with this film it easily looks like they're just shooting any passers by for fun.
I for one was pwned by the intardnet tabloids.

Harry is a troll. I wonder what handle he posted under before being banned earlier.

Don't forget the terrorists use Italian agents and journalists as drivers too! :lol
