I'll have to wait until I get home to watch this. My company's filter says blocked site due to "Tasteless & Offensive" content. :-(

I don't mind seeing those people blown up. I like how impact is at 0:13 but one of them doesn't hit the ground until 0:16.

Those weren't people. I have more compassion for the herd animals (sheep probably) running in the foreground of the video than I do for the target of the missile.

They were people. I know what you mean and all, but they're still human beings. I will not debate the point that they deserved what they got - they did. The only thing I was getting at with my post was that some people might not want to see a limbless torso hit the ground (regardless of whether or not it was once the centerpiece of a terrorist asshole). Personally I thought the video was great.

$68k apiece, but it all comes out of the same pot. They got a 3-fer with that one.

It really depends on the type. In this case a basic $18,000 Hellfire missile would work.

No need for a more advanced Hellfire missile @ $66,000 to blow up 3 terrorists.

There's one video circulating the internet (It's been doing so for a while), and I'll try to find it again, but it actually shows an insurgent's turban/rag go flying through the air after he's hit with an explosive round.

I'm glad that Firrat from Fairfax Underground knows better than whatever commander in Iraq ordered this strike.

The IED cost $30 to make. A Hellfire $68k. I'm glad these guys are dead, but looking at the basic math, this is unwinnable for us.

Hellfire was unnecessary.... There are a number of cheaper ways we could have blown up or killed 3 terrorists.

Sure - but usually that means boots on the ground in the area. Drones are stand off attack platforms, and as such, it costs a bit more to be able to accurately target and kill what you are looking at. A 68K missile was well worth the lives saved in most people's minds.

Long story short, Vince was our age during the Vietnam War. He has boasted on here several times that he was able to get out of the draft. If you Jerry Rubin's posts, he constantly makes fun of the fact Vince dodged the draft but acts like some military expert.

Blessed are the murderous.

I'm just making the point that we are fighting a war of attrition with these folks. They just need to outlast us to win. Given the economics involved, they will eventually win.

Precisely. Back in the day, Draft Dodgers thought they were being cute but
now they pay the price. In the world of Vietnam vets, they are lower than
whale shit in the Atlantic. It amuses me when someone like Vince starts
spouting off about military matters when they've never worn a pair of
combat boots and somehow think playing with plastic soldiers in the back
yard and watching MASH makes them an expert. Laughable at best. Also,
note that Vince didn't contribute anything of substance to this thread
and only made fun of those of us who have served. My thanks to Ramblin

So..people expressing their 1st Amendment Rights publically are chicken-shits! I guess only gun toaten zombies sitting behind computer screens are of any value.

The Vietnam War was a war-crime on our part...as is the Iraq War..and perhaps the Afghan War..your lame attempts to aggravate me wont change any of that.

I somewhat agree with this. I only enjoy watching them get blown up since they were setting that bomb up to watch us get blown up.

Vietnam didn't start out as an unpopular war. It became one because of the draft and because there was no clear strategy to win.

There are no clear strategies for victory in Iraq or Afghanistan. The hope of the "powers that be" is that the lack of a draft will allow for unlimited latitude to conduct these wars. The problem is, sooner or later our most dedicated men and women in service are going to get sick of the multiple deployments. Once you have a demoralized volunteer military, then what do you do?

There is definitely a psychological impact on these pieces of crap, which why so many of them lie and state that they did serve.

I'll at least give Vince that, at least he is honest about shirking service to country.

Lets get our terminology correct...draft dodger-someone who when drafted left the country. They were pardoned by Jimmy Carter...and other then not riding on Harley's during Days of Thunfer parades have suffered no ill effects. They have no record...they wear no badge of disgrace...neither do I think they deserve any.

I am sure I am in the majority of folks on here...a very small percentage of the U.S. citizenry have ever served in the the military. Denying those who did not say in military policy is maore a fascist idea then an American idea...so I wonder exactly what values you prentend to have fought for.

Also,
note that Vince didn't contribute anything of substance to this thread
and only made fun of those of us who have served.

I made fun of no one...it is you who seeks to undermine...ridicule. I doubt you have seved a single day in the military.
