Quote from: RabidClock;1743367You guys really have no idea how operations work, its like listening to a bunch of elementary students arguing over the collapse of the economy. You have about 1 part of 10 of the over all picture and you're attempting to draw conclusions. Apache pilots do not have 1280x800 monitors, they have tiny lcd screens. And unlike video games, you cannot see rounds being fired unless they're really really big.

If they can't see that well then why did they say that the "insurgents" were firing. It was the apache pilots that drew the conclusion that it was an rpg, and said that the insurgents were firing. The ground forces didn't report fire, but they still gave the permission to engage.
 
Actually, if they can't see, then why are they calling the shots, or firing at all? In this CNN video analysis , a retired U.S. military brigadier general comments that the zooming lense is very high powered and their equipment is designed for high precision viewing. Doesn't the best military in the world have the best equipment?
 
They drew conclusions, and happened to be wrong is all anyone is saying. The fact that they were dicks about it didn't help, and neither did the military lying.
 
I completely understand your point about the stresses of duty, and how different things are in real combat.
 
Also,
 
"I admit I have no idea what I'm talking about"
 
Haven't you played call of duty? Of course you know what you're talking about average citizen!

Quote from: Ram.;1743354Well, you can't say killing civilians is a good thing or no big deal

Yeah that just adds to the flame

Quote from: Ram.;1743346The only thing war is good for is video games

I'd agree
 
Also
 
Just to bring this wild discussion back to focus a bit...
 
''There is no question that coalition forces were clearly engaged in combat operations against a hostile force,'' said Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl, a spokesman for the multinational forces in Baghdad.

This is not saying it wasn't suspicious but,
 
In the video, as soon as the first cameraman lifts his camera to take pictures, the helicopter pilots go nuts trying to engage and annihilate everything in the area and anything that entered the area. Even from the semi-clear apache footage, you can see that no shots were being fired let alone RPG fire was coming from the group with the cameramen.
 
There may have been insurgents with the reuters guys, but they weren't acting any more hostile than the unarmed civilians in the group.
 
''They had arrived, got out of the car and started taking pictures, and people gathered,'' Mr. Sahib said. ''It looked like the American helicopters were firing against any gathering in the area, because when I got out of my car and started taking pictures, people gathered and an American helicopter fired a few rounds, but they hit the houses nearby and we ran for cover.''

Whenever cameramen start taking pictures apparently people gather to see, whenever people gather the U.S. opens fire. It looks like a few of the people who gathered were actually armed, but they weren't acting hostile or suspicious. If the U.S. unit was really under fire as they said, wouldn't the ground forces report the position of the attackers and the chopper take that location as priority?
 
I think the main point of this article/reveal/every journalist/blogger's raging boner is not only to show trigger happy U.S. military hitting civilians (you have to admit media loves lapping that kind of story up) and laughing about it, but just to have the proof that the military vehemently lied about it. Woop dee doo for those who hate the U.S. military.

Quote from: CAPTAIN CONDOM;1743124It's a war! Everything's ok because it's a war! Morality, you say? Compassion? Fie on compassion! It's a war! It's perfectly acceptable to throw away every shred of human decency because it's a war! I was really worried there for a second, but you sure cleared things up. TROLL.


 
War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID tagged soldiers carry ID tagged weapons, use ID tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war...becomes routine.


But seriously, from an american standpoint, we are kept in the dark as much as anyone. No one really has the drive to break out of the norm and waste time researching war crimes etc.

Durr it's wrong, but nobody cares.

Valve always has some kind of deal going on, which is good for people with multiple steam accounts, I guess.

In my opinion they need to bring back mo'fukkin competition gaming, or at least bring into the light. After this recession thing I think it will become more popular, casual gaming is the root of all gimmicky fail.






And big companies need to stop being giant douche CZARS

And there needs to be more community created/driven franchises, mods, and content.


Oh wait that only works on PC. Of course none of this will happen anytime soon on such a money pit as the Wii or 360, at least not at the PC level.

From my experience with GPUs, don't jump straight into a power sucking, problem-prone SLI or CROSSFIRE configuration with the biggest baddest hottest cards you can get.
 
Do research on the motherboard and learn if it is for NVIDIA SLI, ATI CROSSFIRE or neither. Also how many PCI-E slots it has and if they run full 16x-16x-4x or 16-8-8 etc.
 
I would recommend NVIDIA cards since I have had good experiences with them in my computer building and gaming time. But ATI currently has the market as fastest high end card.
