Ghoulish? Maybe. But it also helps us to understand conditions there, and
what the troops, pilots, and Iraqis are going through. I found it very
disturbing.

I don't question the motives of the pilots (not nearly enough info to do
that), I just think that all this posting of footage of Americans killing
enemies (Afghanistan & Iraq) is pretty tasteless. Sure, some of these
victims are evil men who are deserving of justice (death or not isn't
something I'll debate), and the pilots were probably acting under
self-defense or justifiable acts of war. I'm not blaming the pilots, I'm
not blaming the American troops or the efforts against terrorism.
I just think it's tasteless to show their deaths across the world,
especially in such trivial contexts.

I think you'd have to talk to the news services about that. They've
never been known to have scruples or many brains either. ISTR that
the excuse they used was they were debating if a 30mm gun was
"excessive". Gotta love those PC, tree hugging dumbasses. It's a
good thing they've never heard of artillery or bombs huh? Dead is
dead.
