I think criminal charges are wrong, it was a trajic accident but not a crime.

They went against orders, easy enough, they should be put into JAG court, and let them decide.

I believe what they did was wrong, what there punishment should be I dont know, as Joe said the JAG court should decide.

are you people really silly enough to believe "official" reports.

"the pilots went in without orders" translates to "the idiot colonel fucked up but we can't have him put in Leavenworth so we'll blame the young stupid Lieutenants"

man they should be put in jail. They said they were under attack? Not likly, they were trying to be hero's.

Dont ya think that there was a break down in commucations .
1- why was a al -quaeda training camp still on the map , when in fact it was cleared by special forces , as being empty.

Its too bad it had to happen. But whats even worse is the way it's being handled.

All it looks like to me is the US is trying to appease Canadians. ANd I don't want to come off as a country that can't handle it or were a bunch of whiners etc.

If their going to do all this trial and shit, I think it should be done in EVERY case of FF, not just because they killed Canadians.

They did something wrong and should be punished. But all piliots or whoever who do the same thing should be punished in the same way. I don't see how Canada is the exception. It makes us look like assholes and other instances between our countries haven't made us look good to each other. I suppose we take each other for granted.

All I hope is that the piliots get what they deserve. Nothing more, nothing less. If it is found they were not at fault, so be it, but someone is responsible, right?

military intellegence... 2 words that should never go together .

redhawk_six · 01-15-2003, 06:46 PM

I think they should be charged with murder, and thrown in jail.

Unintentional Manslaughter is a joke, it's like saying he didn't mean to drop the bomb or kill anyone. He meant to drop the bomb, and he meant to kill someone, it just ended up being someone diffrent than he thought he was killing.

That's a tough call. I find it hard to believe the "official reports" too. The guys job is to kill people, plain and simple. To find it criminal when an error happens just seems weird to me. It's war for crying out loud.

Innoxx · 01-15-2003, 07:49 PM

I wonder what would happen if the pilot was Canadian, and those soldiers were American?

ninty · 01-15-2003, 09:02 PM

That would never happen since our planes don't fly.
