Compare and contrast: two videos shot of the same event. One shot by insurgents. The other video from a U.S. Apache AH-64.
No, the Apache doesn't engage the insurgent. It's just surveillance. But it's an interesting study in how insurgents take raw video like this and turn it in to propaganda. I can almost imagine the nasheed (Islamic song) running and a few allahu akhbars thrown in. I've seen dozens of videos of insurgents firing off rockets. Of those, maybe three actually show anything getting hit. Usually it just shows the launch. Nothing else. Their video:
