there was a saying during the second world war

 

When the british fly over and shoot the germans duck

 

when the germans fly over the british duck

 

when the americans fly over everybody ducks

 

kind of sad that that saying still rings true

 

to my lost friend and fellow princess patricias who died in afghanistan you died heroes i will not forget

 

 

I can only imagine the resentment against us because of that unfortunate accident. Sorry for your loss. It's perplexing that even with all the high-tech communications something like this can still happen.

It will be easy to determine the cause. On the navigation maps it will either clearly show no fly zone which means the pilot is an idiot and didn't bother to navigate properly or the maps did not show the no fly zone and the whoever updates the maps is the cause. It should be very easy to determine whose fault it is. Air traffic control when he contacted them should of had his coordinates and known he was in a no fly zone unless the Canadians didn't tell them that was the designated training area. We'll have to wait and see.

Wow, i never heard of that happening, I hope my mom doesn't hear about it, she is really scared about my cousin because he's in the marines.

 

 

FYI the Canadian were in an area that was constantly used for live fire training. This was a horrible accident that could have been prevented.

 

Although I am angry at the loss of a friend there is a saying in the military take the cheque take the risk. All soldiers know the risks involved when they are in a war zone but it sure would be nice to know that the US will finally learn a lesson and start being more careful.

 

 

you know our canadian government is taking this whole thing quite lightly

 

say a canadian pilot flew over american troops and accidentally killed him with a bomb.......the U.S. wouldnt let us off so easy as did we did with the U.S.

 

kinda double standard here.......

That is very likely Prodigy, but you must know that politics is politics. You and I both know down deep that they are rather angry! Who wouldn't be.

 

 

Well It is something that is bad that has happened. But countrys need to be more careful and not to make accidental mistakes.

 

 

Thats sad because think about all the advanced weapons we have and they still hit are own people.

 

 

war is not surgery. it isnt perfect, it isnt 100% accurate. thats the way it goes.
