My opinion is: What else could they do? They are not ravenous murderers but not either glorious heroes. They just did what had they had to do. If you were a gunner on that particular Apache and a man armed with an RPG was looking you in the eye, what would you do?

Yeah you right, but your trying to tell me that their reactions to performing these actions were not weird. That they seemed to become fulfilled with joy whilst killing, giving each other compliments? "Nice" They didnt give a shit what they were doing, they just wanted to "play" with their toys.
In those "toys" they took out men who were armed with weapons. Ok, 2 out of what 20? Had cameras, you could clearly see guns in the other guys' hands.
Soldiers are under the command of the military they signed up to be in.
If they are told to shoot, they shoot. If not, they face the consequences(Demotion,Court Marshall etc) Leaving your command=death by firing squad. So, you pick.
1) You let the guy shoot the rpg at you first and risk your whole team dying.
OR
2) Take out the guy who looks suspicious with a big ****ing rocket in his hands and his friends with guns.
Also, say these guys did act unprofessionally, a few sour apples shouldn't ruin the batch. Look at other videos, more professional while killing terrorists. At the end of the day, that's all they were doing, defeating terrorists.
NOTE: it definitely was an armed helicopter of some sort, as it shot machine guns not bombs.

Depends on what people think, but they acted as if it was a video game. If you're in the military for a while, you start to not notice or regret that you are taking actual human lives.
