    Yes, and I’ve seen the full video and Army reports debunking it. That’s why it never went anywhere outside the far left and Russia/China. He had to literally edit the video and create an out of context snuff film before it suited his purposes.

        I have in fact seen it. Multiple times. They embedded with anti coalition forces that were shadowing that convoy for hours. Embedding on either side is always a roll of the dice in a war zone. But nobody is going to eat an RPG because of Schroedinger’s reporter. And yes it was an RPG, the ground forces found them afterwards and took pictures.

        At the end of the day those reporters made a bad decision in a place that didn’t have any room for bad decisions. That’s all there is to it.
