This is the real thing, people: this is the leaked video of a pair of American Airforce reserve fighter pilots killing British Lance Corporal Matty Hull near Basra in Iraq. There is a time lag on the audio here, so follow the subtitles (which were added by the investigators). The video dates from March 28th of 2003, and more details about the incident and investigation are here.
…the pilots, a lieutenant-colonel and major at the time of the incident, are flying warplanes again, attached to the 190th Air Fighter Squadron, based at Boise, Idaho…
The cockpit video reveals that the pilots clearly saw the orange panels on the top of the British armoured vehicles intended to identify them as friendly forces, but ultimately decided that they were rocket launchers. When one pilot suggested a return to base, the other said: “I think killing these damn rocket launchers, it would be great.”
Even after attacking the column, the transcript shows the pilots were still unsure whether they had attacked enemy or friendly troops.
“It doesn’t look friendly,” one pilot said. Minutes later, they were told of their mistake.
“We’re in jail dude,” one pilot said. “Goddam it. Fuck me dead,” the other cries.
To all you nasty H8erz: the man has a penis 35 feet long, the FCC is too in love with him to take issue with his blatant display of self-love right there in the halftime show, he’s had more hit records than you’ve had burritos, he successfully stuck it to the record conglomerates in a brilliantly subversive and artistic way, and he’s had every woman he ever wanted (three of them got pregnant just from his sidelong glances!). Also, he’s been known to do a set or two at piddly little clubs in places like, say, Vancouver, just for shits and giggles without even taking a piece of the five dollar (Canadian) cover.
No need for the teams to come back out. The game is over. It was a very entertaining first half, but Prince is just gonna hold it down for the next couple hours. It’s all good.
You scored as Parade Prince. You are the Parade Prince.
You know that you are funny and make everyone around you feel better.
You’re funny and smart and witty.
