Please excuse the vanity post, but a Swedish fellow I've been debating with for the last year over the conflict in Iraq sent me this Windows media file as proof of "war crimes" committed by our troops in the recent fighting.
CLICK HERE for the video clip.
I could use input on this particular event, if anyone has any context in which this clip could be put into. We all know how the media, combined with modern video technology, can make anything look like anything, and I could use some information to use against this and what it seems to portray.
Thanks,
Joe Brower

I always aim a little low on a target when it's on the ground. Maybe the Marines didn't aim center low before wasting a couple of rounds? In the end they still hit.
Good post.

Or, could have had sights set at "battle sight zero" (which is as I recall, set for a couple of hundred meters) and failed to crank 'em down a few clicks for closer in target...

You go tell that Swedish friend that its too damn bad all the Viking blood has been swept clean out of him and his countrymen, then maybe they wouldn't have been such a bunch of pussies in WWII. Neutral, indeed! Feh!
All the ones with any guts left and are in the U.S. A bunch of them helped beat the Nazis and are laying in some graveyard on the coast of France.

I could have hit him with one shot.

Not to mention giving them right of passage so they could invade Norway!

They will stop hating and fighting us when their hearts cease to beat.

War crime, my butt. Obviously a dirtbag who had been shooting at them and got caught scurrying across the street. He gambled..........he lost. War is hell.
To: RightOnline
The only crime in this is that he wasted 2 missed bullets trying to hit this piece of sh!t. These guys had their warnings to lay down their weapons. :)
