I recieved information (currently unverified personally) from one of my military colleagues that at least one of the people involved in that video went to jail. The reason given was that the enemy in the video did not present a threat to the helicoper. I do not wish to propogate hearsay but my personal feeling is that the display of force in this video is a bit over the top. I do not know the full circumstances surrounding the incindent. I have tried to search out some more info on the subject, but nearly all the websites hostnig the video do not say much more than "Apache Chopper vs Iraqi Soldiers"
Against a conventional enemy wounding someone is considered an effective way to win. A wounded soldier requires an average of 3 to 4 of his mates to care for him.
