If you edit the video, you can make it look easily like a mistake. But after hearing the dialog from the soldiers, it becomes clear that they saw weapons because they WANTED to see weapons.
The battleground is a city, where people, including children, actually live. It's not some trench in no man's land, where only soldiers come. It's not like the Iraqi are holding children in front of them. The US military is using weapons that target crowds in a populated city. If some enemy fired missiles into our cities, they'd kill children too. Does that mean we are using human shields?
Even if it's common for enemies to use vans, does that make it OK to engage any van without provocation? Even if 90% of vans are used by enemies, is it OK to fire on all vans? What is the turning point? 80%? 50%? 10%?
Why not just nuke them? They shouldn't have brought children into a war country.
I hate riding around and seeing idiots jabbering on the phone in their SUVs and driving like I'm not even there. I feel like there's absolutely no recourse to the action. They aren't likely to hear me if I cuss them out, and I don't typically carry items to throw. I feel like there's nothing to reinforce proper behavior until they kill somebody, because there's just nothing I can do to them to get it through their heads that they are dumbasses before they drive off. Seriously, is there any way to get these idiots off the road? Will sending photos to police help?
I suppose a proper handling of relativistic velocities would make it a 4D physics system. But, really, I'm more interested in 4 space dimensions. Rotation in 4 space dimensions would be done in a planar cross section, which would make the axis of rotation also a plane.
Well, that would make Eversion a 3D game now, wouldn't it? 2D + 1D. Nevertheless, I think a distinguishing feature of a 4D game is for it to allow fairly free movement in the w direction, and not only at specified points.
I remember when Quake came out, there was all this talk about how Quake was "true" 3D and Duke3d was 2.75D or something (arbitrary labeling, I know). The point is that Quake allows would be smooth and allow you to rotate on each axis. We don't call River City Ransom a 3D game, even though it has motion in 3 axes, because the camera angle is fixed. I think a "true" 4D game will allow you to smoothly rotate along all 4 axes.
China seems to be able to do capitalism without democracy. Democracy has to do with who makes decisions. Capitalism has to do with owning of property. Those are two different things. I think, in the United States, we are brainwashed from grade school into thinking they are the same thing.

It was an accident in a combat zone.
Except there wasn't any combat until the Apache opened fire.
This entire article is bullshit.
chemical weapons aren't in the same league as nuclear weapons. The only reason US doesn't stockpile them is because they aren't that effective.
this is nothing new
because the game is never over

You listen to him speaking--do you really think he gives a fuck? This is what he does everyday.
Human shield is propaganda.

In other words, censorship is good, because it protects American military from being portrayed as wrong.

maybe they need to be introduced to the Streisand effect.
I don't know what you are talking about, blowing away children and people evacuating the wounded sounds like a problem.
I don't think USA's constitution applies in USA either.
I blame the commanders who don't act under these conditions.

show me a rotation along the time-x plane axis.
no that's not right. for some specific infinity, infinity0
2^infinity0 > infinity0
but
infinity0/2 = infinity0
yet, there's scant evidence that the universe is finite. Only WMAP quadrupole data... one number... suggests such a thing.

it makes the bullies *dead* victims. You think these kids care what history paints them as?
When bullying is in the playground, it's just bullying. When it's online, it suddenly becomes cyberbullying. And that's a problem.
so, if they could've cured Michael Jackson of his whiteness would that be ok?
It looks like some berserk moderators got in here. Why all the troll mods?
