You said it perfectly. When we think of soldiers we think of these big motherfuckers who arent scared of shit. Atleast this is what I think. What many of us over look is that half of these soldiers are scared shitless.They are not worried about whether there are civilians around, they are worried about the helicopter that they are and the people they have to protect in that helicopter, and other helicopters nearby. So if they see some scrubs, with an rpg that can potentially take down helicopters, they are going to fire and protect there fellow soldiers. Lets put you in the situation. You are in a helicopter,and you see some people with an rpg, that same rpg can take out your helicopter, you also hear shots that are fired so these people are potentially hostile. Also, it looks like the man witht he rpg is squatting behind that wall for coverage, what would you do?
It even says "Whats the van doing picking up woundeds or possibly weapons" that van could have been doing a lot of things. What if they were going to get the wounded out but then drop of a couple guys with some RPGs...
