Can someone post the video?

Of the execution?

I can't comprehend how you guys want to see that.

I'll PM you the site. I dont feel the need to publicly put the site on GT because of the nature of the video.

I'd like to see your evidence as to why that was edited. Seeing as how you always request such evidence from me.

That second video is footage from a Apache attack helicopter. Three Iraqi's are killed, the third one killed after having been wounded, which is a major No-no. My point here is simply to illustrate the complete lack of restraint our soliders show when using force as it was obviously not necessary to kill that third solider.

The thing is, if you really want to be cold blooded about it, from a purely strategic viewpoint, a wounded solider is a far larger burden for an enemy than a dead soldier. You saw what those rounds did to that car on the left side of the screen, you can't tell me that Iraqi would have been fighting the fight anymore after being hit by even one of those. As a dead man, he's nothing, as a living wounded man, he is going to be cared for by the enemy, which is a waste of resources.
