Three words..."Fog - of - War".
And we'd better get accustomed to it.

A fair point, still it doesn't make it any easier to watch.

I guess what bothers me is even if they have irrefutable proof that these pilots were told not to fire, that many americans think it is ok. Ah just a mistake, fog of war. Where was the fog here? A fighter aircraft at 400 MPH plus worried about small arms fire, that they cannot identify and then are told there are friendly troops in the area. Yet they still fire? When I need close air support these are the last guys I want to call, and they should never ever be allowed in a cockpit again. We need to quit trying to make excuses for imcompetence or hotdogging pilots. Everyone time we do some soldier on the ground pays for it with his life.
