I can see liberals crying about killing defenseless Muslims who had not harmed anyone. I did notice how none of the horses were harmed.

It was brutal to watch for me but it's amazing what they can target and kill. If Apaches are on the scene these guys have zero chance. I was wondering about targeting them with .30 caliber? I thought that was against Geneva Conventions. A buddy of mine told me they could say they were targeting their weapons if he was ever brought up on charges. ABSOLUTELY SUPERIOR field engagement. They had ZERO chance.

Guys. I'm a liberal. I hardly rejoice in their slaughter but I am glad that they won't be targeting Americans anymore. I would like to see these ISIS beheading mfers on a youtube. That would please me.

This is how easy it would have been to have taken care of ISIS back in June. While they were in a 90 mile convoy from town to town. Buuuuut Nooooo. Thanks Barry!!

That last shot was a bulls eye. While I can't celebrate death I can sure celebrate the fact that those animals are no longer alive.

O'Mey loves His Muslim Brotherhood too much to take Them out. It's plain to see. Hell Stevie Wonder can see that ! O'Mey can't come up with a plan for ISIS.

The myth is a .50 BMG caliber round cannot be used against soft targets(Humans). I have a buddy in the army who said that was BS, just an urban legend.

I just looked up the Apache armament.

Crazy at 35.5 million a piece.

Armament/Weapons: The Apache Longbow is equipped with an Alliant Techsystems M230 30mm single-barrel automatic cannon, which fires 625 high-explosive dual-purpose rounds a minute and has a capacity of 1,200 rounds in total. The gun is located under the fuselage. The AH-64 has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons and can be equipped with a combination of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra-70 rockets. Typical configurations include 16 Hellfire missiles for anti-armor missions (4x four-rail launchers) or 8 Hellfire missiles (2x four-rail launchers) and two M261 rocket pods with 19 Hydra-70 rockets each. For more detail, see specifications below.

Price/Unit Cost: In FY 2014, the unit cost of a new-build AH-64E is $35.50 million (flyaway cost) of which the two T700-GE-701D engines make up $1.45 million ($725,000 each).

Yeah, I'd say it was an urban legion.

Snipers using .50 cal to take out Taliban.

Ok each one of those 30 mm explosive rounds is more powerful than a grenade. Think about that. They can put 625 grenades on a target in a minute. 1200 grenades a flight.

Absolutely CRAZY when you think about it.

Then I just thought about the costs.

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index...144AAcJ3Pv

50- 100 bucks a round. That Apache just went through 60,000-120,000 in two minutes. MFER!!!!! We can't afford this boys!!!

That is the very definition of asymetric war.

I wonder what a hellfire missle costs. I'll be right back.

Yep, between Apache Helicopters, C130 Gunships, and A10 Warthogs, Not to mention Hellfire equipped Drones and F15's anything that moves and wants to be aggressive can be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
