Two US Army Soilders in Iraq destroy a civilians car for stealing planks of wood. - General

That was a douchey thing to do but the pics at the end are completely unrelated what the hell.

[QUOTE=starpluck;20664105]Wow, provide sources where it says its punishable by death to loot in Iraq, or don't post that at all.[/QUOTE] It's called war. These men are thieves and they deserved what they got. Either way if i am right or wrong. They could have been killed by one of the civilians (just over 50 percent of households in Iraq own a weapon of sorts) This being caused by previous countries that invaded just leave their equipment there because it's cheaper to buy new logistics than it is to transport it back. Same reason Afghanistan has so much ass laying around, because the Russians left it there after they invaded. Or they could have been killed in a local prison. Their prisons are nowhere near as good as ours.

The governor brought in the national guard, and declared that anyone seen looting would be shot on sight. You know what happened? The chaos stopped. Assuming this video was taken right when the invasion began, yeah, the city was in chaos, and these guys were looting, so he should be happy it's only his car.[/QUOTE] Glad some of us can read a textbook. Thanks dude. Also, original Video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJC1unnuwds[/media]

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;20675533]They probably stole more wood than there was on top of the car. I wouldn't even be so sure that the guy was a taxi driver. The car didn't look like much of a taxi. I know that not all taxi cabs in the world are yellow, but at least something about the car has to be distinctive so people will know it's a taxi. The guy was probably trying to make the Americans look bad, so he made shit up to tell the journalists that that car was his life.[/QUOTE] A lot of taxis in such nations aren't distinctive. For example, when I went to Lebanon in the summer, most taxis look like ordinary cars, just like the video. [editline]09:55AM[/editline] [QUOTE=matt54;20679239]It's called war.

[/QUOTE] Most taxis are like that in Lebanon from my own experience.

such realistic physics, this game might just push BFBC2 off the shelf. in all seriousness, very sad video :( the destructive side of me still couldn't help enjoying the tank drive over it

Stupid Americans, Freedom Fighters...pfft...my ass creates more freedom.

stop looting

Poor people try to survive their hard lives... (You know, not every country offers good jobs and every 16yo have a car)

To people who say no one was hurt and they won't steal again. Well now they and their kids will either starve to death or steal again.

[QUOTE=Frostbyte113;20673346]hurp durp i am going to base my opinions of the U.S. soldiers off of one youtube video[/QUOTE] Search for more videos on YouTube, and you'll find out they mostly contain U.S soldier :)

Like the way everyone immediatly takes the side of the looters. Take no side at all. More importantly, everyone going "OMG THAT CAR WAS HIS LIVELIHOOD" what about the wood they stole, that is either a shopkeeper's livelihood, or wood that a family needed to repair a home that they now can't. etc etc

That wood was actually from a school rebuilding site. This was a clip from an old BBC news documentary.

I would love to drive a tank over a car. Monster trucks without the high center of gravity.

Old as fuck.
