i dont understand the mentality of people anymore

[creanium]

The comments are just hilarious. "He was waving a white flag." ... WTF?! How can you tell color in a B/W thermal-imaging camera? And to me, it didn't look so much like they were waving the flag, it looked like they were unwrapping the "weapon."

Anyway, best comment:

Thanks God some of you guys are not LEADERS of our nation! Did everyone see the same video I did?

1. A meeting in the middle of a field with a small car and a big truck! Some say a farm truck?? Uh, when do farm trucks look like that? Big open bed to carry troops and supplies....

2. The guy looks around quite nervously and grabs a cylindrical type object from the back of a car. Ya, we all keep farm equipment there. And remember, we can only see the thermal imaging view, not like the pilot can see which is normal view. AND, the pilot clearly states that he identifies that "tube" as a weapon. "I got a guy runninig to the field throwing a weapon"... Besides, why haul ass to the filed and throw a piece of farm equipment???? The other guy does the same thing. control: "Are you sure it was a weapon?" pilot: "positive". Verification was asked 3 times. 3 times. Strike 3 you are out.

3. Sure doing a lot of running to and from thier "equipment" they just tossed for just harvesting corn...

4. I don't know what moron is saying the other guy is waving a flag to surrender...! He is desperately uncovering something most likely a weapon, to try and return fire! If you would open your eyes you will notice as the pilot is starting to engage the first person, even before he fires, the other guy by that "equiment or machine" is already taking something out. Is he "waving that flag" surrendering before they are even fired upon? gees...

5. Addressing another moronic statement: (paraphrase) "why would they be doing something illegal when they know a helicopter is nearby?" Uhmmmmm...because they DON"T KNOW! He is probably a mile away or so.

War is hell, but so are some of you idiots!

im just wondering.....if that one dude just got anihilated......why is the other guy pulling away at whatever it was and not even attempting to look "non threatening" ?

i'd say these people may have been up to no good.

They don't use thermal imaging during the day... Do they?

[68TurboBug]

as far as i know...... maybe???? good point! Mark that one, 1 point for you!!!! HAHA

You will also notice, the time in the upper left of the video is about 16:30 Zulu (Greenwich Mean Time) and Iraq sits 4 hours AHEAD of Zulu, so that would make it 8:30PM in December. Who the hell farms at that time of night in the winter?!

[68TurboBug]

good point!!!!! I guess i should have been shot!!!!

as a Recon marine, the only time i would use IR or any other thermal imaging equipment would be at night time, I could clearly tell what kind of weapon that was, when you see so many of the same things in thermal imaging, you can automatically tell what it is. I will leave you guys to guess what kind of weapon it was...

Something tells me it wasn't a potato canon ...

Maybe it was a big BONG and he wanted just one more hit before he got wasted?

Haha... The only farming you should do at 0830 in December is growing them tweeds in your closet.

[Gryphun]

[Valmont]
