A common tactic for the insurgents is to ambush our troops and then when the response comes, hide their weapons and walk away. They know what our rules of engagement are and take advantage of them.

I can't watch the video at work, but if it doesn't show the whole engagement from start to finish, it's worthless. Whose to say that ground troops didn't see these folks with weapons 10 seconds before the helo's cameras came on? What if they were walking out of a building where shots had been fired seconds before?

Even if it did, it does not prove anything. No video can capture everything that transpired.
