Brother Cooper, first, let me give my deepest sympathy to you!
The Canadian / American pissing back and forth is uncalled for by one and all. Thank You.
I never was in the military, but in the law enforcement end of a paramilitary organization.
Friendly Fire, I always loved that statement made up by poloticians for someone Fucked Up!
Remember, there were no one there but the Pilots and the men on the ground who were killed and maimed. Who is it of us to decide. While The Pilots were give SOP, and AWACS directions, no one was there but those involved.
While reports are put out, DeltaAlum, you can verify this, that Govt. Reports and Media Reports can be very one sided!
As anyone in the know, PR are is Bullshit in a spary can!
I am in hopes since none of us were there that the Military Judicial system will be fair and just.
For those of you who have never been in a situation where life and death is a posibility it is strenuious. I carred God at my side for 7 years and it is not a Top Gun situation, it is a very grave responsabilty!
God forbid that any of us have to be in this situation!
