That just meant many of the participants had trained together and had compatible communication equipment. Yet there was non-NATO countries like Sweden, Jordan, Qatar and UAE involved and most NATO countries did not participate.

NATO itself has only a couple of AWACS planes anyway. All the other planes belong to the respective countries militaries.

You are excusing an uncharted action which is responsible for numerous civilian deaths in Libya (you can Google that and get a bunch of links, BTW). To say that “other countries”, non-NATO or not were involved is flatly irrelevant.

You are dissembling the facts AND the outcome of its actions. There have been plenty of instances where war crimes were committed and those “who were only following orders” were punished - rightfully.

The bottom line is that NATO (and this isn’t fiction) participated in military action that result in civilian deaths in an operation completely outside and beyond its charter, period.
