Splashing bad guys never gets old. The MO of the Apaches appears to be: keep shooting until nothing recognizably human remains.

Probably 'cause they've had too many play dead and get back up when they think the chopper can no longer see them.

Something about the phrase "war porn" just rubs me the wrong way. "Gun pr0n" I can understand, as a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of stereotype, but "war porn"... eh.

Perhaps you shouldn't let it rub that way, perhaps the other way would be better? :lol: Especially for something taken "in cheek" Sorry, just couldn't pass it up. :lol:

There's nothing wrong with a bit of "in cheek" if the situation calls for it ;)

I see Jericho's point, but it's one thing to watch, say, kids get killed, another to watch someone with no compunction about killing those kids getting wasted. I don't usually watch a lot of these videos, but there are worse things to see.

I suppose you can think of it this way; In feudal Europe, people watched the guilty be executed. In South America, people watched the innocent disembowled.
