AC-130 (Long Version)

As horrific as war is, this Army film of "precision" air attacks on Afghan insurgents raises the nightmare to an even more chilling level. Helpless "personnel" in a tiny, plain "insurgent compound" are eradicated like ants by firebombs. The bombs descend from a US plane, precision targeting the fragile, mortal shapes below as they helplessly flee for their lives from the flying menace.

This film demonstrates how our armed forces have brought the dehumanization of mass killing and destruction to unimaginable efficiency.

No peace will come of this.
