because obviously US soldiers can't have accidents, right?
[QUOTE=Billiam;27033675]He could have been a terrorist, or he could have been an insurgent angry about U.S. presence in Iraq.[/QUOTE]
Either way he was trying to harm people and he was probably fully aware of the consequences of doing so, especially with 40 year old equipment.
[QUOTE=MasterG;27031290]Yeah fuck the terrorists. They're totally the bad guys. If I saw some kid join a group called the "rebels" after a government killed his family, and then he destroyed a major military installation in a suicide mission, he'd be a terrorist, regardless of circumstances or if some kind of apparition told him to do it.

Just saying, it's a matter of perspective. As far as the "terrorists" are concerned, the US is a big, greedy, oppressive foreign superpower and, to be honest, they haven't done much to disprove that.[/QUOTE]
When the rebels in star wars start slaughtering innocent civilians then they will be of an equal hatred status.
[QUOTE=bugfix;27027433]But these guys are worthless scum. I don't mind them blowing up.[/QUOTE]
You're an idiot.
Hey guys, death to all 'terrorists', they're worthless scum for wanting to repel another country's invasion!
[QUOTE=Micr0;27033851]Either way he was trying to harm people. He was probably fully aware of the consequences of doing so, especially with 40 year old equipment.[/QUOTE]
There are U.S. soldiers trying to harm him, therefore when a U.S. mortar explodes it is hilarious.
[QUOTE=Wirexia;27033826]because obviously US soldiers can't have accidents, right?[/QUOTE]
the point was that our equipment and safety is superior, idiot
[QUOTE=DanTehMan;27032004]You need to be educated, badly.[/QUOTE]
No, you do.
[QUOTE=FFStudios;27033933]the point was that our equipment and safety is superior, idiot[/QUOTE]
And his point was that even so, there are still malfunctions.
[QUOTE=FFStudios;27033933]the point was that our equipment and safety is superior, idiot[/QUOTE]
that doesn't mean there can't happen any self-inflicted deaths for the US
[QUOTE=Billiam;27033919]There are U.S. soldiers trying to harm him, therefore when a U.S. mortar explodes it is hilarious.[/QUOTE]
I don't find anything about this situation hilarious at all, I don't really know what point you're trying to prove here.

Okay then, when a U.S. soldier's mortar explodes it is equally just.
No one deserves to die IMO.
What kind of fucking terrorist organization have you heard of that uses mortars? This 'terrorist' is completely justified in his actions
Pretty sure this is also fake, doesn't look like a mortar explosion; they're anti-personnel weapons that explode in showers of shrapnel, this looks like pyrotechnics
It's all subjective bitches, there is absolutely no objective answer within this discussion considering that we know close to nothing both on a micro level (who the individual is, what his position was, where he was) and on a macro level (essentially, dealing with the Taliban/Insurgency clash with Western forces and the extensive amounts of different groups vying for different ideals).

They were trained on how to use a mortar.

I agree. We're all just making assumptions here, neither side is making any progress in this argument.

I wish i could rate bans. I would rate this one fucking [img]http://static.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/img]
it's nice to see how everyone loves the fact that he died
he's still a human, it's sad that such a thing happened. All that war is sad but huh
you are treating him like some sort of sub-human, or something that isn't a living person at all
that way of thinking reminds me of some other famous person

That's my point, people are laughing out of assumptions. And either way, when a person dies it's a solemn event.

aren't we killing /terrorists/ for our own God?
Both "gods" are nothing more than illusion of freedom. No matter which side will win - both are already losers

The terrorist was shooting mortars at either innocent civilians or american troops. There's no way that can be positive.

He just said "death to all americans" is "fucking wrong," don't put words in his mouth.
