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.

I suppose you mean 'get' over it?

The premise is not possible. First, because Canadian pilots suck so much they would almost certainly miss. Second, Canada is not one of our allies anymore from a tactical sense. We could not count of them for any form of defense mission. Their military is a complete waste of space. Being a civilian now, I can say what I could not when I was still flying. The Canadian military is utterly incompetent.

I think it's pretty safe to say we'd be satisfied with an apology and an explanation. I'd be shocked if U.S. troops had never been killed by allied friendly fire. I can't recall us ever making an issue of it.
