[Shotimes] OT : Apache hit

[Paul L Fisher]

No, this was actual footage of action in Iraq. It was reported by ABC News
World News Tonight a week or two ago.

This has been going around work here lately.  There's been some discussion
on what this actually is.

First my disclaimer:  I know nothing about any military things.
Particularly weapons or aircraft.  Nor are my comments meant to "devalue" in
any way the military.  These are just my observa- tions.

1. You can't hear the helicopter.  I would think you could hear it a little
bit in the background.  It's almost perfectly quiet in between the voice
transmissions.  Except for the gun of course.

2. After the first guy is hit, the other guys don't seem very interested in
finding any cover.  It's only the last guy who was hiding under the truck.

3. My first impression was that this is some kind of training thing.  The
guy shooting is taking total direction form some "guy in charge".
