I love to watch these documentries on tv that follow the US and UK armed forces into Iraq and Afganistan. Ive always had this interest, maybe its because ive spent a number of years in the forces.

Anyway i watched one the other day that showed how some insurgents in Iraq fight back. I say insurgents but i believe alot of these people are just like you and me, fighting because they dont want their country occupied by a foreign force..

In this documentry there were four scense that stick in my mind and my feelings when watching them are very different.

Scene one is where an American soldier is tood on gaurd at the rear of an apc (armoured personnel carrier) and is shot by an Iraqi sniper.
Scene two was where an American apc was blown to bits by a large road side bomb.
Both these scenes fill me with anger and rage and im horrified when i watch them, even though im not American, never been there and have know real ties there....

Scene three is of an Iraqi who has an rpg on his shoulder, he runs out into the middle of the road looks back to make sure the camera is still on him but before he has chance to take aim 4 or 5 tracer rounds hit him in the head killing him.
Scene four showers a group of Iraqi's being gunned down by an American helicopter...
This time i feel great when watching these last two scenes, even though i dont know them and who knows if their fighting a good cause, i dont care.

Am i alone or does anyone else feel like this when watching these types of things??

Or am i just racist and didnt know it??
