Uh... no-one said that the trailer would increase deaths in Iraq. The objection to it was that it took a real-life incident and exactly replicated it, using the genuine voice-over.
I can fully understand why people might find that a little distasteful.

It is, as others have pointed out, an exact reinactment of an actual event. The pilot and gunner were court-martialled since wounded troops not returning fire shouldn't be considered as valid targets. (I might be wrong conserning the cort-martial but im 75% sure....)

Huuum... they where active combatant ? They can be engaged no ?
I just try to figure it out in my head... You're in the desert of Irak... you seen hostile...they dont fire at you... what are you suppose to do ? Get back to base and forgot what you seen ?
I know ROE autorise you to engage civilian if they represent's an eminant treath to you or you're unit. ( Canadian kill civilian on a CheckPoint cause they dont stop and try to pass trought. 2 kids... what a waste...) So Why it would not let you engage hostile cause they dont shoot at you ?

You didn't read did you? I said wounded... They fired at them, he goes down, is still moving but wounded and they say something like: hit them again... that is were it all goes wrong...
