Firstly, your heart goes out to the A10 pilots?? Why?? These 2 pilots broke around 7 rules of combat according to news articles. One of these was to go it alone without waiting for confirmation that the targets they were about to bomb were either Allied troops or the enemy. Or do you consider the UK the enemy.
These 2 pilots should be in jail, but instead they are now promoted to training pilots on how to bomb. Absolutely degrading.
My heart goes out to the family of Matty Hull, you know the soldier that these 2 bombers butchered. They should be locked up for a long time. Suggest you read up on how many UK soldiers have been slain in these kind of fuckups. Its attempted cover ups like this that are widening the ever increasing gap between our 2 countries.
Andrew may i suggest that this thread be closed now before i really start to vent my fuckin frustration here.
First of all, I haven't read the news in ages so I didn't know anything about this incident
until Behshad posted here. Thanks to you, I know the name of the soldier
that perished in this unfortunate instance and my "heart goes out to his families as well".
And your remark "Or do you consider the UK the enemy?"
FUCK YOU and your narrow-minded train of adolecent thought.Not that it's any of your business but I've been to that region of
the world
TWELVE FUCKING TIMES in the past 16 years and I
am going back in July for another 6 months.
I have been stationed with and fought along side troops from the UK,
France, Australia and others every single time and hold
THEM ALL in the highest regard.
What have you done?
Played Couch General from in front of your TV?
Again, FUCK YOU.
You want to hang these 2 pilots out to dry because of a'mistake'.
Yes, a mistake. Guess what? They happen, even in War with all the
high-tech super gizmos out there.
I haven't read the CNN or MSNBC stories but I've read the
transcript and understand EVERYTHING that was being said between ALL
involved and I can tell you this:
The pilots were NOT the only ones at fault.There were miscues and confusion coming from everywhere,
on the ground, the Eyes-In-The-Sky and so on.
FF deaths are a part of EVERY war. Accidents happen.
These guys don't need to go to jail.
The jail they are gonna have to suffer in is in
their own minds, hearts and souls because
they are going to forever have to live with the fact
that they DID MAKE THIS UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.
It's good that they are still active and being allowed
to 'train' pilots now. Even if asked, they would probably
have a hard time ever driving a real-world mission again.
So yeah, My heart goes out to them and if that
"DISTURBS" you well then TOO FUCKING BAD.
Go sign up, grab a gun and some ChemGear
and hop on that plane with me in July.Otherwise, don't bring your sorry-ass whining
and hurt feelings my way.
