This short film is 3min and 58 sec long. Its 80meg and it is showing some Iraqi Insurgents in a field who look to be up to no good. They drop, what looks like an RPG and then head back to the car.
The Insurgents then walk about for a bit, then the order is given to engage, they kill all three men, the first two are OK. But the second one is what caused this officer to have a court martial. I don't know the outcome of the court martial but I guess it would have been a severe punishment.
The 3rd man gets shot by the Apache helicopter and then starts rolling around, he is now "not a threat" as he is in agony, but they shoot him again and kill him.
Rules of engagement state that you can only shoot to kill if the person is basically going to kill someone, or harm someone/thing. The man was neither of those so the Apache helicopter should not have shot the third man a second time.
Its in infer-red so you don't see any blood or guts or faces, so its watch able. But if you don't like watching people being shot and and killed then don't watch this video.
This is my own copy which I'm putting onto the internet, I got a copy when I was in the Northern Arabian Gulf Sea. Its probably already on the internet but I just thought I'd show it just to let you know how trigger happy the Americans are.
The video below is the same one I just found on the internet.
