Subject: RE: BS: Friendly fire coverup
I don't think it does follow Ebbie- clearly identified patrols fired upon are somehow to blame????- part of standard British military procedure is to include regular identification training-the same is not so in the U.S. military I am led to understand - I do not think the pilots are to blame, but in an international theatre of war, there must surely be minium levels of training given in areas like these - these guys went off mission to pursue this patrol and they were let down by the system with disasterous results.
