U.S. soldiers fire into van carrying 13 women and children

[CanadianCripple]

sooooooo...they had enough time, first to make sure that it wouldnt stop, to shoot in the air, to shoot at the engine, to shoot at the passangers and they were still so far away that they couldnt see the van was full of women and kids (typical suicide bombing package, eh)

so they either motioned for an approching van to stop some 200 meters away(hmmmmmm), or van was going 10/hour while they were shooting at it planning to run a checkpoint (hmmmmmmm), or somebody was triggerhappy and didnt give two shits about "sandniggers" (HMMMMMMMMMMMM)

i dont know about you, but i wouldnt want to be "liberated" if this is next couple of years of "freedom"

bottom line :
fact- women and kids full of bullets
alleged reports - everything else

You obviously have a dislike of the militiary, ironic you chose the handle of "Centurion".

I question why the driver wasn't stopping? Maybe it was done to force the attack.

and as for other comments "kill or be killed, dont run the checkpoint, dumbasses, common sense..."
if your town was under occupation(kinda under pressure), your wife driving your kids trying to get the hell out, panicked accelerated, ate couple of bullets along with your kids head blown off.....

you would call it tragedy+war crime+revenge comiming up....
or unfortunate incident caused by the dumbass wife???????

 

[Centurion]

got my nickname from an old computer game, dont mind military generally

as for my opinion the driver not stopping (assuming thats what happened)- read my previous post

Actually, if I were unlucky enough to be born into such an environment, I would pray to God (or Allah etc...) that somebody would come and overthrow the despot de jour.

Sure I would! I would call her a "dumbass wife" and would be happy, I did not have to divorce her and give her half of my assets! I could take my money and continue banging my new girlfriend!

You forgot this in your cut'n'paste: An Iraqi suicide bomber exploded a taxi at a U.S. checkpoint in Najaf Saturday, killing four U.S. soldiers serving with the 3rd Infantry Division. Commander of the division's 1st Brigade, Col. Will Grimsely, said an Iraqi drove to the checkpoint, beckoned soldiers closer, and detonated a bomb, killing himself in addition to his victims.

put my occupying army ass on the gate?

I'm not sure what your question is.

Here's mine: Assume you are a soldier in the 3rd infantry division. Yesterday, four men from your division were killed by a suicide bomber in civilian dress and vehicle.

"Iraq's Vice President Taha Yasin Ramadan confirmed that attack was a suicide bombing and promised there would be more to come."

Today, you are guarding the gate - not because your trying to keep non-members out of your club, but because you want to keep your life, and protect the lives of your buddies.

A vehicle is approaching the gate. It's a van (typical suicide bombing package, eh). You heart jumps as you remember the explosion you heard yesterday, the one that killed four of your brothers. You try to motion for the van to stop before it gets close enough to kill you. It keeps coming. You fire warning shots, hoping to god the damn thing stops! It's still coming. You try to disable the vehicle - no use. It's heading right for you.



What do you do? Are you going to let the damn thing pull up to you so you can peak inside?

I really think the whole psycho soldier is pretty unrealistic. I'm sure multiple soldiers opened fire on the van.

Unless, of course, a foreign army did not to invade Iraq....LOL

Touche

Everyone knows large vans that don't obey traffic laws and that are filled with children are driven by child molesters anyway.
