I'm good with it all, It was a mistake but justifiable.....Until the Van shows up to help the injured guy.

In the full video it looks as if the Van was dropping off the photographers and it was also the photographer that they were helping.

All said war is hell and stuff happens but I do believe that they should have been more patient with the Van crew rescuing the one wounded guy. I mean what was the hurry? If they were going for weapons it would have been apparent given another ten seconds of observation. And there is no way that they could have confirmed that the Van was hostile, neutral or friendly in intent with out careful observation. This was in an occupied city full of civilians not on some remote battlefield!

So I can see that some mistakes were made but not unjustifiably so....such is the fog of war.
