Not one fucking thing in that video could honestly be called a "war crime". It's immature people behaving unprofessionally, not war criminals.

FYI - the puppy tosser was NJP'd.

Ah yes, the old "Evil contractors fire at civilians" video. A couple of things to keep in mind watching those fun little bits of propaganda.

-I spent a few years in Iraq and never, not one time, fired a weapon at someone in uniform. Everyone I shot at was dressed as a civilian. Every person that shot at me was dressed as a civilian too.

-IIRC that video was taken around 04/05. VBIEDs were all rage back then. The only shoot in that video that may have been questionable was the first one but there was no context so I can't say. The others showed cars coming up hard on the back of a motorcade and the trunk monkey engaging. That was our SOP when I was there with the USMC in '04 too. It sucks to do a BDA on someone you just shot only to find out that they weren't trying to kill you. They were just dumb or had piss poor situational awareness. It sucks even more picking up body parts of Americans that were killed by a VBIED driver who looked innocent.
