What makes me sick and I hope the rest of this country too . Is the fact that they use the term " US Military " on anything that has the looks of our great military . The truth of the matter is that 60 % of the troops that our country has sent over there are HIRED GUN MEN FROM COMPANIES SUCH AS BLACKWATER !!!!! These slime-balls give our TRUE US Military sons and daughters a bad name . The rest of the world judges our country on these reports that they see . It is a sad day when our government even out-sources our military ..... Something has to be done to stop the destruction of our once great nation and the best and brightest military .....

In the very beginning of this video, it's obvious that there is somebody aiming an RPG at the chopper and it seemed as if there were people carrying weapons in the group. Of course it's unfortunate that the cameraman and reporter were killed but if you were in that chopper and somebody is pointing a weapon at you, you don't hang around and wait for somebody to show their credentials first. If you accept an assignment in Iraq as a reporter you understand these sort of dangers exist and if find yourself 10 yards from a man pointing an RPG at an American helicopter, it may be a good idea to get out of there. If they would have circled all the way around the building without firing, it seemed as if the man with the RPG had a beat on them and they would be dead. The part of all this that makes me sad is that it seems obvious there is far more outrage over the mistaken killing of these people than there would have been if that RPG took down that chopper. Unfortunately there is no group responsible for making twenty minute videos for every American killed.
