As much as the politics of the Canadian gov't disgust me (only slightly more than those of my own gov't) and the sheeple mindset of too many of her people.....
...let me extend my condolances to our "brothers in arms" north of the border. They died with honor. Freedom isn't free. |

Thanks G-man..
There is going to be an investigation as to what the hell went wrong. Word up here is that he bomb was lazer guided.......so who was lighting up our troops? Sounds like a commo mixup if you ask me. One must also feel for the pilot in situations like this...he must be going through utter hell! |

I heard it on the way in, saddened by hearing that the pilot didn't investigate, accidents like this make me understand better that war just sucks period because inevitably good and innocent people die in the process.

My sincere condolences to our Canadian Brothers and their families for the loss of brave young men in Afghanistan.
"Friendly" fire is not friendly and a bitch to accept! |

Quoted: Thanks G-man.. There is going to be an investigation as to what the hell went wrong. Word up here is that he bomb was lazer guided.......so who was lighting up our troops? Sounds like a commo mixup if you ask me. One must also feel for the pilot in situations like this...he must be going through utter hell! Absolutely on all accounts. Ultimately I blame the bastards that took Vieques, PR away from us as a training gfround. It is ENTIRELY conceivable that this pilot LOST training time due to those bed wetting jackasses that whined about the flora and fauna at Vieques. And yes, I'll bet the pilot WISHES he were dead. A tragedy for all involved, especially for the relatives of the dead. [red]edited to correct the spelling of VIEQUES [/red].....because one of our missions should be to correct each other,and because I am sure Garandman will not mind my having done so! [:)] Ed Sr |

CTVs Rod Black ( a leftie reporter if there ever was one ) is now claiming that the pilot was told NOT to attack?
The story goes on that he was told to wait till the "Brits" cleared the area....... Surely things are not that F'd Up!! |

First and foremost, my condolences to the families and friends of these brave young men.
I sincerely hope this wasn't some hotdog young pilot mistake. I think we need to wait until all the facts are in before pointing fingers. It's difficult to trust the media who so often report "hearsay" in these situations. |

Sorry this happen to our brave brothers in arms. Like EdAvila said "Friendly fire is not friendly". I just hope the pilot wasn't trying to be a hotshot. The left wingers will make hay out of the tragedy.
