Fear the Spectres wrath!
Stumbled across this, makes me happy i'm an American and not on the other end of one of these.

click, click, boom!

it's a FLIR recording from a AC-130 raid in afghanistan. towards the end a couple people take direct hits from the 40mm and come apart.

Oh, that's right. It's perfectly alright for us to show the US military blowing up the bad guys, because they fight for truth, justice and freedom. Die you foreign white blobs!

And people wonder why human life has no value.

Of course.  Bad guys are funny evil demon men with beards who get bombed by fighter jets.  They don't mind  :D

By that logic, practically every war photo ever taken is a crime against humanity...:rolleyes:

Good stuff there, but the movie quality is really lacking; it's difficult to make out anything on the ground and the grayscale colors don't help.

oh, never mind then. Still, the camera resolution is too low to see anything except blob-like formations on the ground.

The greyscale is becasue it was recorded through the FLIR (forward looking infra-red) it sees heat why the people and the craters glow. it is overly compressed. yep not bombs 40mm bofors cannon rounds those wheren't the biggest it had eiter. it also has a 105mm cannon.

for those not familliar the AC-130(who are interested.)

hm lets see how about this:

If someone were to show (and glorify) the killing of US people, you would think of them as sick and soulless. But as long as they wear a turban, its ok..right

See war is one thing. You kill because you want to get your way.

Enjoying the taking of someone elses live if just bad..

People who enjoy the act of killing can just be grouped in with the pedophiles and such,

*nods*

And I don't understand how the mods/admins allow such f*cked up clips to be posted on this board. Its disgusting that people actually take pride in this killing.

I'm not saying that at times there is no other option... but to take pride in it, no. Thats sick.

Frankly, I don't care about it. If any other admins have anything against it, well, then they go ahead and remove the link.
