Bravo Zulu to these military lawyers. Scape- goating pilots that made a terrible mistake is just reprehensible. It's not like they were out there "buzzing some Canucks" for fun. They were just doing their job. An accident happened, as accidents do happen in a war zone.This is sounding like what was done to some poor gunner's mate after the Iowa's #3 turret blew up.

Why were they not informed of possible allied activity in the area? The person whose job it was to provide that info should be held responsible...were the pilots required to specifically ask about such activity? At 500 MPH at night, it's kinda tough to look out the window and figure out who's who....
