Afghanistan is made for dirt bikes. A-10's love dirt bikes...
(Excerpt) Read more at military.com ...
Almost looks more like a cluster munition going off above the bikes. Does the 30mm gun really have that wide a “pattern”?
Ageed. The dust comes up all over at the same time...no where to run to, no where to hide....no time.
Ironically, these Muslims were done in by a Warthog.
Just wondering how these guys were tagged as Taliban, just because they’re riding dirt bikes? Seems if that’s the case there could be a lot of collateral deaths. This is part of the reason Iraq has asked us to leave, just too many collateral deaths for the population to stomach.
Darn, this is better than shooting fish in a barrel.
Most likely saved some of our troops down the road...
Hannibal is holding a Smith & Wesson Model 39. Cool. Prolly a 9. I don’t think they offered it in .40 then. It has the “big
ears” adjustable rear sight.
I have a early serial number Model 39 from the 1950s. I treasure it.
I don’t think they just decided to shoot dirt bikers. Probably had intel that targeted these chuckleheads.
If the pilot works the rudder and wags the tail, then yes. But it sure does look like a cluster munition. Either way, those scum don’t stand a chance against depleted uranium or frag munitions.

The rest of your post is presumtive meaninglessness until you answer that question.
The credits are good too.
Talk to my lawyer!
Doesn`t the A10 pilot know he is supposed to drop Miranda leaflets first?
LOL
Targets Provided By
The Taliban
“This is part of the reason Iraq has asked us to leave, just too many collateral deaths for the population to stomach.”
Where do you get your information? The rules of engagement are very restrictive in Iraq now. A soldier has to file a stack of paperwork if he fires a warning shot.
Afghanistan is another story.
I’m glad we’re leaving Iraq, we should be leaving Afghanistan. There is no end game. No win. We’re losing people and money for no real reason.
And provide ACLU lawyers?...tsk tsk
They should have dropped leaflets, then ACLU Lawyers ... then started shooting. Let G_d sort out the mess.
