Angels of Death to the enemy, saviors of life for us and our allies...

It's only the Angel of Death if it's an AC-130, or perhaps the tricked out special ops C-130, with a Daisy Cutter on board. The AC has all sorts of nasty stuff to allow it to be the Angel of Death.

Now if the weapons officer on board is one particular female officer..

"The Spectre’s weapons release officer was a woman, a stunning USAF captain named Allison. “Ally“‘s voice on the plane’s intercom and over the radio, as she coordinated the deadly 105mm and 40mm explosive rounds, seemed to flow like poetry as the Taliban bodies stacked up, resulting in her being nicknamed “the Angel of Death”. ...

Allison, originally from New York, was proud that she was able to “bring some justice” to the people who were responsible for striking out at the United States on September 11. [Northern Alliance] General Dostum was utterly amazed when he heard of Ally. He immediately called his Taliban foes on the appropriate frequency, and then asked for Allison to speak on the U.S. radio. Dostum first announced to the Taliban leader that “the United States has so little respect for you that they are using their women to fight you!” Then Dostum held his handset up and Allison would talk over the frequency, announcing that she had heard how badly the Taliban treated women, and she was here to give them a little payback. This was also translated to the enemy over their frequencies. The extreme gravity of the insult to an Islamic fundamentalist “holy warrior” cannot be translated.

I was merely being poetic. I have the license.

The date the event was filmed is unclear but it looks very similiar to the still images given earlier.
