You don't see much but it is still disturbing. It actually kind of looks like COD too. Like the AC130 mission.
I get where your original post was coming from. These guys could have all been terrorists and the Reuters guys knew they were putting themselves at risk. The guys in the van who tried to save one of the Reuters guys who survived the attack may have also been terrorists and the kids in their van may have been there just so that if they got killed, it could be used as bad PR against the US.
Unfortunately I don't think that is the case at all. I saw one weapon the whole video and not a single person in the video looked like they were doing anything other than just walking down the street with the reporters.
For all we know those were Iraqis offering protection from insurgents for the Reuters guys. The van was likely just Iraqi civilians who wanted to save some guys life and they had their kids with them.
The worst part is at the end the guy who just took part in killing like 12 (presumably) innocent people including 2 children says "That's what happens when you bring your children into battle".
There is no battle you fool. That guy lives in that country. He was just driving around with his effing kids and you opened fire on him and killed him. Jesus that pisses me off.
