Wow, our army is full of dicks. They should have just taken the stuff they looted and returned it to wherever they stole it from or something, what they did is just wrong.

...notice they didn't return the wood, it was left on top of the car.

It's conduct like that that gives the U.S. an even bigger black eye in the whole mess. Like they needed to shoot it up like Clint Eastwood before running it over. Those are some cool guys!

Looked staged to me, but if it was real.. thats some really fucked up shit..

its not staged. it is a clip from Frontline a year ago when the looting was going on.

I would say that drastic measures had to have been taken to quell the looting that was going on Baghdad (which shouldn't even have been allowed to start to begin with but happened anyway due to poor planning on the US's part), but I really don't think that humiliation combined with taking away someone's livliehood was the smartest way to go. chances are that guy and his friends went directly to al-sadr's rebel recruiting office and signed up for a tour of shooting RPG's at americans.

I'm not sure if taking lumber from an abandoned construction site would really be construed as looting anyway. the shit was just going to rot.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Military has announced that it will be seeking additional suppliers of ammunition, as Alliant Techsystems cannot produce enough to keep up with demand...

2 billion rounds are on order for next year.

These idiots should be billed for playing "empty the clip".
