Ouch. Supposedly these guys were up to no good. Looks like an anti-aircraft gun there.

I apologize if this has been posted before.

Ya, saw it about 6 weeks ago... but, for a rerun, it's not bad.

Yes it is cool. Unfortunately, all I see is three guys running a tractor and plowing a field.

It WAS posted before. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yes I know. They suddenly became 3 Iraqi farmers killed by an errant helo. But before they became dead farmers (farming at night oddly enough) they were setting up a rocket launch tube in their spare time.

If you've seen the whole clip, you'd know that they were not there to plow a field.

it looks like we hit a couple of farmers.
Look closer at the tread behind the 'anti-aircraft gun'-
it strongly resembles the plow tracks on the rest
of the field.

maybe they were using the AA gun to plow their field.

The tube looks hot to me - as in recently fired.

There is a longer version of the video where you see the Iraqis hiding either an RPG launcher or a man portable SAM.

It's been posted, but there's nothing wrong with seeing our guys administer some "Infinite Justice".
