Probably an inspection crew would be sent later.

Note to folks...there's no such word as "graphical"

Example:

That video was over the top and just way too graphical.

Errrrr WRONG!!!

How about...

That video was over the top and just way too graphic.

You thought it wasn't a word but it WAS!!!!

Daxx · 01-13-2004, 04:09 PM

I don't this he was disputing the word itself, just how it was used gramaticly (sp?)

**leejo** · 01-13-2004, 04:30 PM

We must have mis-interpreted the statement "There is no such word as 'graphical'" in line 1 of Spectre's post.

The 2 clicks was a guess at the range is what I meant. The Apache's 30mm (that's 3cm btw - take a look at a ruler to see the width) canno has a range of 1.5km though you'd need to be closer for heavy armour or fast moving objects.

If the shoe was on the other foot dont you think those Iraqi's would have done that to Americans if they had the opportunity?

It's real life folks... that's why I posted it...

Enjoy your internet, getting up in the morning, stopping for coffee, ect...
Just remember that 19yr old kid who just left for bootcamp might not be at the trigger of that video but it's what the Military does... enjoy your night of gaming in your Free America, and thank that Man when he get's back.

Oh and enjoy typing what you think on the internet about how disturbing it is also / or not. It's what that guy killing those target's was hoping for...

**CingularDuality** · 01-15-2004, 05:48 AM

I don't know if you all heard, but two days ago, the Apache that took this video was shot down. The pilots hesitated because of the criticism received over the video, and the helicopter was shot down with small arms fire... Do you know what small arms fire is? It means it was a bunch of dudes on the ground with nothing but their rifles... They shot down an Apache with their AK-47s!

Armchair QB'ing is fine for sports, but you and I don't have a clue about what happened before that video started.

BTW, an Apache was shot down by small arms fire, but I have no idea (and highly doubt) if it was the same crew from the video...

arty · 01-15-2004, 05:14 PM

Maby this will help....

The Apache Hellicopter to America
is Like the
Front Door to your house.

Feeling any safer to what's out there in the big bad world???
Didnt think so.
