Toast Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I'll give you one guess. A creepy soundtrack of heavy breathing set to minature images of bodies and buildings being blown to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Whatever that stuff was... "It sure blowed up real good" heh, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Good post Trask! While I generally don't like watching fellow humans die, I feel nothing for those bastards in our crosshairs. Anyone who is even a little timid about seeing such things should just remember the 9/11 images of Americans jumping to their deaths from 80 floors up. The only thing that bothered me about the c-130 video was that the air crew seemed overly obsessed with avoiding damage to the mosque and did not seem to have carte' blanche to fire-at-will. They seemed to be requesting permission from elsewhere to proceed to subsequent targets. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Tricky Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Is that the video from the Afghani wedding party massacre where we killed 50 innocent women and children and injured 100 others? ("Whoops! Sorry about that!" said the US military later.) But yeah, we sure killed the crap outta them kids, eh Fairweather? (they're the ones that run really slow.)

z Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Uncle Tricky, Had you been there at the time you might be qualified to make a statement regarding the incident in which US air assets were attacked by multi barrelled AA gun which was using a wedding party as a shield. The Afghans have long used this tactic to generate unfavorable media coverage.The Soviets documented many incidents of this type. Read Artyom Borovik. However, you aren't qualified because you were sitting on your ass at Microsoft being overpaid and overfed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_W Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Pretty sweet video, Trask. Kickin' ass, American Style!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Tricky Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hey Mike, I assume you are talking about Borovik's Hidden War? Interesting book--I borrowed it from my gramps last year when it became clear we were going to depose the Taliban. But I'm always looking for some good book suggestions. You've probably read History of Warfare by Keegan? Just and Unjust Wars (Walzer) is another ok book. While the guy can get a bit wordy, the historical examples he uses are interesting. PS. I thought ya'll would appreciate the truth of the cartoon I posted on the guns and skiing thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 "Guns, Germs and Steel" is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbrecher Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 This thread could also have gone under the "this guy didn't get what he wanted for christmas" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Uncle Tricky, I'll check those out. The only books Z is reading these days are FM 90-10 and FM 7-8. Military Operations in Urban Terrain and the Infantry Rifle Platoon. For light reading, Delta Force by Charlie Beckwith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
