Does this yet again say something about US pilot training? Or is it a case of a cultural attitude that leans towards "Triggerhappy"?
Friendly fire is anything but!
Still something to learn America?
I think so. |
From the small article linked to here you make those comments?
You make alot of ASSumptions...But I will consider the source.  |
Well, the only BoB incidents from the Afghanistan/Iraq I've heard have been done by the US. Simpson from BBC, the Canadian (orwas he a Brit too, cant remember) and now this.
But what can one do to it? Nothing! We all make mistakes and in situations like these are, it just happens. Like the friendly fire incident during the Gulf war, where the two AH-64s destroyed an M113 & Bradley just because wind had drifted their choppers further away as was intended.
