Re #121: Why?
FLIR is to allow night vision via relative thermal imaging so that the crew can see at night, as much as they can, not just humans in varying layers of clothing.
The mosquovites fear our choppers and they shoot at them at every opportunity, killing more of us than they should, including a Little Bird's woman pilot last week.
We have kill zones and curfews AND armed patrols by our good men and women to minimize terrorists' war crimes.

As to whether the Apache pilots could have called in ground troops to apprehend the men, Cordesman said: "In this kind of war, wherever you find organized resistance among the insurgents, you have to act immediately. If you wait to send in ground troops almost invariably your enemy is going to be gone." There is no obligation in war to risk your own soldiers to make things easier for an enemy engaged in pursuing their version of making the other summbitches dies for their country. If my sons were there I would want it no other way.

Now that is good old American firepower. We should make sure all of the middle eastern people see videos like this. I think it would brings peace at a fast pace.

If it'd been allowed, I would've called in an artillery strike on top of what was left trucks and all just to be sure everything was nice and pasty.
Of course, my Artillery leaning bias is showing.

You will note in the video that the gunner is reluctant to engage the wounded man. In fact he appears to fire only on the last truck.

How do you "UnRaR" it?Take a pistol with greater than .40 caliber. Aim it at your CPU. Fire three rounds through the CPU. Everything should be UnRAR'ed now.
