First of all I don't entirely blame the pilots, the whole thing is a series of c#ck ups and I think my first post does still give that impression. But I drive for a living and if I run someone down and kill them by accident , then it would be quite reasonable for the family of my victim to want to see me in court and see justice done. Even if the judge says there is no case to answer
What I don't like is the fact that the American millitary has sat on that tape (with the help of our MOD) for four years - Why?
I own "Lock on" and everything that you see in that video you can see on my screen when I play it. Surely the Russians have HUD's too?
There is something fishy going on.
Add to that Iraq has been an unmittigated disaster and we want our troops back(a great many of us didn't want them out there in the first place), and maybe you can see why this is leaving a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
I'd like to finish this rant by saying that I don't hate Americans at all - just Bush, his policys and his party.
