Did you see the video that Wikileaks released, now 16 years ago, when the Apache helicopter fired on the first-responder on the the scene, a van which also included children.

At that point, another voice – presumably an officer not on scene – asks if the van is “picking up the wounded” and is told that they are. Two Iraqis from the van carry the wounded man around the side of the van to load him inside.

An American voice with the call sign “Bushmaster 7” says, “Roger, engage.” One of the helicopters blankets the van with machine-gun fire.

“Oh yeah, right through the windshield,” says one of the soldiers, while another voice on board briefly laughs. “There were approximately four to five individuals in that truck, so I’m counting about 12-15″ casualties.”

Later when news that two girls had been badly injured was greeted with: "Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle."
