Yet another update...
The US Air Force has dismissed charges against Mj. Schimdt, and instead he will face administrative punishment.... are there any US Military personnel kicking around on the board that can shed some light on what this means?
While he faced 4 counts involunatry manslaughter and 8 counts of assault, which could have meant 64 years behind bars, that was seen as too harsh up here (military and media)... but I'm not sure if administrative punishments would be "good" enough either....
Personally I would love to see him actually publically apologise or admit that he made a mistake... like his wingman. The difference between the two pilots come-off like night and day... one lawyers-up, the other refuses and tries to go visit the Canadian base... one fights tooth and nail in court to keep his pay and flight status, the other resigns in a tearful statement.... one dropped his armament after being told to hold-fire, the other urged caution and held back... which too me comes off as one has little to no honour, while the other demonstrated considerable honour.
