I don't know if it really belongs here, but here goes. Watch the video first.

Ok the first part is kind of expected, you see a bunch of men with weapons gathering, waiting for something, and it looks like they had an RPG. So US soldiers fired on them. The interpretation given in the video is shit, from the video you can't tell who's a cameraman and who's an armed man.

The next part is FUCKED UP. So after the attack, a guy was crawling away. A van turned up, people that are clearly unarmed tried to pick that wounded guy up, and the soldiers just fired at unarmed civilians.

Again the interpretation given in the video is biased. Based on the footage it is NOT clear that there are two kids in the van. But it seems clear to me and from the video that those people in the van were unarmed.
the soldiers that fired are obviously trying to top score on that map.
