Apaches light up some reporters in Iraq

I don't see why this is getting big news.

While it's extremely tragic, and unfortunate, it was an honest mistake. Nothing about the attack was careless. They were anxious to engage, but wouldn't you be after an attack on your fellow troops?

There was recently an attack in the area, the helicopters thought they were carrying RPG's, and engaged appropriately. It's incredibly sad, but I don't think they were being careless.

They looked like they were carrying guns. It was a mistake. It was tragic.

This literally happens everyday. War sucks.
