Just as the whole Pat Tillman incident (or any number of times men screwed up on the battle field) destroyed the credibility of men in combat roles? Ridiculous!
It has everything to do with the fact that Navy brass knew she had no business flying that aircraft in the first place. Any man with her performance record would have been flunked out of naval aviation long before they could get into a situation like that.
For you not to realize the fact that friendly fire is a fact of modern warfare tells me you know little of it. In one of our armed forces finest hours, WWII, 30+ C-47 transports and gliders were shot down in the invasion of Sicily, killing over 300 paratroops and glidermen. 200+ men were killed and hundreds wounded, to include General Lesly McNair, commander of US Gound Forces, during the saturation bombardment preceding Operation Cobra, the breakout from Normandy. In EVERY war and with EVERY army, friendly fire deaths are commonplace. Your attempts to malign SP/4 Pat Tillman’s comrades is calumny of the worst sort, given the chaos of the battlefield which can affect even the most PROFESSIONAL of troops.. I am speaking as someone who has been there at the sharp end.
