I edited my post, but here it is again
All of that isnt in the actual video, so, the video seems kind of shocking and uncalled for by itself. Its still controversial even with the story though, isnt a 30 mm armor piecing cannon meant for tanks against the geneva convention for use against humans? Then again, thats all they had with them besides a hellfire or something expensiveComment

well in my book death is death. weather they hopped out and shot them with their 9mm side arms or used the cannon, they are still dead. now 100 rounds might be a tad excessive, but after those guys went through the day they just had, its ok in my book. its easy to monday morning quarterback, its much harder to be in the middle of a war.Originally posted by FalconGuy016

Well, they shoot more than one round per shot. If you watch the video they dont actually FIRE 100 times, they shoot as much as they need to ensure their death, and, one time obviously wasnt enough. However, the geneva convention is pretty important for war crimes... but I dont know. Im just saying if its against it or not, I dont know. Its probably considered pretty inhumane to target individual people with explosive anti tank rounds.Originally posted by logamus

but when you are fighting against people that have no concern for human life, is killing them with any means you possess really inhumane? besides it makes for one hell of a video.Originally posted by FalconGuy016

Im not trying to argue with you, im trying to find out if its against the convention or not! JeezOriginally posted by logamus

Since dead is just dead, it doesnt matter how a person dies. Its more of a respect issue for the dead. If you had a family member in Iraq, would you want him shot with a cannon or a bullet? Thats all im saying. There was no choice in using anything else in this instance so it doesnt matter, im just wondering if its going to bring heat from the convention. That is all... im not trying to argue with youComment
