Actually, that isn't the whole clip. The real version shows the men handling an RPG at the sound of the helicopter. For some reason that was left out. I've seen the whole slip but I don't have it. I'll see if I can find it.

And yes, that thing with the large heat signature is a tractor.

Probably because whoever posted it (came off of a UT newsgroup that link, I think) only wanted to show off the sheer...ooh...aah!..excitement of somebody dying in a fairly horrible and painful way.

Yeah, I kinda assumed there was a "bit" more to that footage. I mean, its rather silly that they'd send an apache to shoot the hell out of 3 farmers with a 30mm cannon. You know how much that ammo costs? Well, Sandwich should know...

*Looks at avatar*

tho I do think thats a slightly smaller caliber, you're donning. :D

IIRC, when I was in the army, Desert Eagle rounds cost about 5€ a piece, 3.62 FMJ cost about same or a bit lower, except for the aluminum rounds we had, which were a bit pricy. So 30mm rounds would cost a whole lot more....
But what the hell am I saying?! The US Army has a crapload of cash...
I have returned... Again...

That's a 0.5 incher, which translates into 12.7mm, so yes, slightly smaller. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
