The truth is that Canadian pilots get so little training time, they would be lucky to hit the side of a barn under duress. It is time for Canada to get over this. Harry Schmidt is a good man.

Would the US go over it if Schmidt was Canadian and the ground troops US soldiers ? Tell me "yes" and that'll satisfy me.
Such stories always bring up bad blood between allies. If Mr. Burns is right about the AWACS plane not being told about the Canadians' position, then it's downright unfair that Schmidt, who relied on the info given to him by the AWACS crew, should take the fall for it.
