Apparently this is a clip of a longer video of an Apache gunship engaging Iraqis.

Warning: This video is graphic!!!

Wow. self-ping to save later

[Fledermaus]

And those are just guns. You should see the missiles when fired.

And for real excitement, watch a video of an AC-130 gunship with it's laser targeted, computer driven guns...amazing!

Bump for later

But in the hearts of moral men there is always the nagging wishful doubt that it could have been done differently and that the hope that the killing will stop soon.

Show every terrorist and soldier who would take up arms against the US. Make it clear what will happen if you don't give in.

Our Nation does not destroy those who work with us. We make them fabulously wealthy.

Make it clear that there is no benefit to be derived by killing our innocent citizens and there will be the least blood shed possible.

Show them that we are weak, and you will get more of the same.

Not a bit of nagging doubt that this is the right way. You should not be so weak.

Not a bit of nagging doubt that this is the right way.

I totally agree...light em up...make it hell on earth for them...

watch a video of an AC-130 gunship with it's laser targeted

The spookey footage has no laser ranging or targeting at all !...in fact if you watch and pay attention you will see that the gunner is leading the runners with the 105 like a duckhunter leads ducks...

That to me is what makes that footage so raw...the guy is lobbing 105 from the 130 with only optic sight overlay on a flir screen...

Chilling for sure...but nothing hi-tech when looking at the rubber meeting the road...FLIR screen with a cross hair overlay...and a POI crosshair...you can even hear the gunner say..."Shit...I lead him too much"...

PULL!

[Joe_October]

Less will die if it is a certainty that we will kill them if they take up arms against us. Less of their soldier, less of their civilians, less of us.

We will negotiate to our opponent's benefit if they choose peace. We'll let you in our country and give you jobs if we need to. We will rebuild their country and make it better than it ever was. Just put down the pop gun and join civilization.

I can't get the gunship video to play.

I first went to DivX Players site and downloaded their stuff.

I then went to WinRar and downloaded that player.

Could my RealOne player be interfering?

Looks like the Army is buying more ammo.

New AMMO CONTRACT

[HP8753]

The 30mm x 173 GAU-8/A ammunition ,

Is ammo for the A-10 Warthog. The Lightweight 30 mm is for the Apache.

[PureSolace]

Nice, there should be more footage on the internet and in our media. Why doesn't the military release footage as long as it doesn't give away our positions or important information. I say we show terrorists what happen if they mess with the U.S.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

It's true, Grampa Dave, that I can't download it on my computer, still my first reaction to seeing the title was not to watch and to beg forgiveness from those who now live with that vision, who took on the job of defending my freedom. It breaks my heart.

I can only pray that God strengthens and protects them, comforts them, and helps them understand ~ as so many on this forum, and this thread have come to understand through their own experience ~ that do what needs to be done.

[RansomOttawa]

I can see it now. "But... isn't it barbaric to kill them with a bigger than necessary weapon? If you're going to kill them, shouldn't you use a weapon that's only as big as absolutely necessary?"

We need safer guns and safer bullets . . . 8-)

[IGOTMINE]

Youza! You know what they say about messing with the bull...
