I disagree with the decision to lay criminal charges in the friendly
fire incident. A military court martial, yes...civilian criminal
court...no way. I would doubt that a civilian court would have any
jurisdiction anyway. What these pilots did was tragic, but not
criminal. We should not hold soldiers criminally responsible for
battlefield activities...military courts have been setup for such
reasons. It seems that the pilots did not follow proper procedures and
they will be punished...this was yet another incident in an
environment of recklessness which seems to run rampant through the US
military as they continue to kill more of their own troops than do the
enemy.
