This is a footage of the Taliban or Al Qaeda troops getting annihilated from above.

I have seen that clip before. It is just plain sick. The mere thought that you are watching real people die - even as those people appear as white dots running for their lives - is horrifying.

The AC-130H Spectre has two M61 20mm Vulcan cannons, one L60 40mm Bofors cannon, and one M102 105mm howitzer.

The AC-130U Spooky has a 25mm GAU-12 Gatling gun instead of the two Vulcans.

AC-130 OWNZ.

I agree. It\'s horrifying. But what they did to the women of Afghanistan....they got what they deserved.

Yes. I read a certain book about a swedish female whom fell in love with an irakian refugee. The man appeared as polite and sweet at first, but soon started to show the symptoms of the muslim-culture - he started to beat her for the slightest mistakes, hit her if she disobeyed him and forbid any male friendships, while he himself had a couple of lovers. The woman wanted a divorce, and the man nearly killed her. The man was jailed for his assaults, and the woman found a new swedish boyfriend. They got married. When the man got out of jail, he started to hunt the couple with his friends...

A truly horrifying story. It truly showed how badly the muslim-men treat their women. Just horrible.

Christian men have done just as bad. Or sometimes worse.

But the Taliban is whole different level of stupidity. For instance, they don\'t allow women to work because the man should be the one to support them. If their husband dies, she can not work but is allowed to beg every other day. If she begs daily, that is a crime and punishable by beatings and sometimes execution.

Yes they are. :sconf:

J/k buddy. It\'s like saying if one Christian husband beats his wife, every Christian must to it... people are different no matter what their religion may be. But people tend to focus on the negative (*shakes fist at his slighty conservative father for whom every immigrant is a theif...).

I think I know what video this is.  If it\'s the one I\'m thinking of, then it teaches us an important lesson.

If you\'re being attacked by an AC-130, don\'t run in a straight line.  :)
