Yeah, you obviously don't know the whole situation that was going on there... but it looked to me like even though those guys had weapons, they were just standing around... didn't really seem like a situation to deal with from an Apache. If there's a suspected problem, why not send in some ground troops to check it out with Apache backup?

The ground troops in the area had been taking fire from insurgents in the direction of that group of men. An RPG fired on them at least once and they apparently called in close air support.

At least thats what I got from the subtitled radio traffic. You know how the story ends...

Yeah, like I said... I'm sure there's more to the situation than the video shows... like what happened prior to the video time frame etc. I'm sure that they were just trying to protect themselves, and sometimes in a war zone, civilians get killed, soldiers and airmen get quick triggers, etc.

All I'm saying is that at that moment, it didn't look to me like those guys were an imminent threat and the guys in the van were certainly not a "threat"... they may not have wanted them to take the bodies and weapons from the scene, but it seemed excessive.

Seems like clean kills to me. It was bad that the girl was hurt but you should not put kids in a battle field. It was clear that they were gonna fire the RPG at them and it was also clear that Van was helping the insurgents.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.

      We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
