One thing I don't quite get seeing these types of live footage is that they're shooting, but to me it just looks like they're shooting randomly into the distance. Of course the carnage and destruction is implicit, and I suppose it goes against all the Hollywood tropes of "glorious" face to face battle.

I suppose that when trying to use a tank to shoot at light infantry in an urban environment...you pretty much lob HE shells at anything that moves.
Nothing at all glorious about any of this. This Syria thing is just a clusterf*ck. Barrel bombs, for crying out loud.

It really is sad what happened to that country. It's completely destroyed.

a lot of shots are fired randomly in a fire fight, there is also the tactic of suppressive fire in play
it's nothing like a video game at all
