I'm glad the video went public, but that is all the punishment these airmen need. I think it would be good of them to send letters of apology to the family also. It wasn't malicious, it was a horrendous mistake. They don't need jail time, though perhaps further training.

The American military should look into finding ways to prevent it happening again, as the US does have a bad rep with other militaries for friendly fire. I'm sure, or hope anyway, that this has already happened.

I agree with Z though, that the US wanted this hidden for reasons of embarrasment, rather than security reasons.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
