Video: Apache Engage Insurgents Hiding In A Building With A Hellfire Missiles And 30mm In Iraq. Took strafing and three Hellfires, but the job got done. Nice audio.

I know I should feel badly about the level of pride I enjoy when I see a video like that, but somehow I just don't have it in me to muster up any sympathy for the targets. I see that third Hellfire hit and the damage it does, but then my mind flashes back to 9/11 and I see those people jumping to their deaths from the Twin Towers and suddenly I find myself hoping for another missile or two.

Of course there are those who will tell us that the people who are being attacked and killed in this video are not the people who attacked us on 9/11, that those guys were from Saudi Arabia and had no connection with what's going on now in Afghanistan and Iraq. BS, they are all part of the same worldwide war that's been being waged on us for over 30 years now. Sure, they call themselves by different names, but when it's all said and done they are all part of a ‘peaceful’ religion that has let itself be hijacked in the name of the radicals of their faith.

I wish I didn't have to pray to the God that I worship to protect the men whose voices we hear on that tape, or ask Him to take care of the families of these men while they are half-a-world away doing what has to be done. And when I'm through asking for His protection for those warriors I will ask Him to forgive me for taking delight in seeing those missiles do their job.
