Thread: Badass Apache Combat Footage!

So back to my question. You seem to like telling everyone how uneducated they are and how their lack of time in the military and combat operations precludes them from having an opinion on such matters. Now I'm asking for your credentials. We know Pint has them, where's yours?

Of which none have to do with the op. I have no need to answer your question because its been asked by you several times in the past and answered because i have no need to hide my experience. So you already know the answer. Which makes the questioin a trolling attempt. This debate so far has been based on wether or not the ROE was violated. Which it wasn't and anyone that can read (which i would have to assume everyone on this forum can) can clearly read the ROE that pint posted and see ROE was followed. ROE is gone over and over and over in bootcamp in the corps. Maybe thats why i have never seen an ROE "card" until pints post.

In fact i know a guy that violated REO and engaged a target without authorisation and hes still in prison. Even though what he did saved at least 4 marines including himself. ROE is not perfect but they are there to keep senseless shooting from occuring and no it doesn't always stop it.

Like Pint.

Funny you would be looking for something more then what you could supply.

You can call me out on whatever you like because your not going to hurt my feelings and i have nothing to hide. I did my time and got screwed out of my choosen career.

This is a simple case of ROE and those outside the military can find the ROE and make a decision. However that isn't what you did now was it? You made a judgement call on a video without actual knowledge of what is stated in the ROE. Not that its uncommon but that doesn't make it the right call.

My opinion is that those pilots made a bad decision. They were not under duress and in my opinion value human life to a lesser degree than most. This opinion has been shared by others and you respond by implying that it was chaotic (it wasn't). You then commence with the 'you have never served so you don't know what your talking about' nonsense.

WHo did i dismiss for having no military experience? Make sure you read the quote i posted with it because your going to find i didn't dismiss anyone. You are entitled to your opinion and i wouldn't ask for it any other way. However that doesn't mean im not going to debate why you are of that opinion.

No, this was an unfortunate circumstance that happens in wars.... Sometimes the innocent get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and there was a firefight with insurgents and the apache was looking for them. To call us terrorist, is disgusting.
