#1 My inadequate description doesn't clearly state that this is a longer clip of the Apache 30mm chaingun vs. soft, fleshy jihadis video that was posted a few weeks ago. This longer clip shows more of the surveillance and assessment the crew and their command were exercising before finally acting (kind of like that AC-130 video--"Don't touch the mosque!"). This clip has more testimony to the professionalism of our military than being just a snuff flick like the shorter one.

#5 I am impressed with the verification our forces mad before engaging the enemy and with the fire discipline shown in this action against these terrorists. It would be good to see this circulated around just to show what happens to people that try to attack us. Thanks for the very good and relavant link!
