Watched a documentry on tv called ' Ross Kemp in Afhganistian' wow!!

 

This guy is an English tv soap star who spent six months in AFHGANISTIAN

with members of the British Army ..The Royal Anglian Regt. Their helmet

cams showed a 'FRIENDLY FIRE' incident in which 3 soldiers are killed and 2 wounded

by U.S. fighter, not sure if these clips show that, but what was interresting was the comments of the

rest of that platoon in saying ' it was just one of those things, although we are shocked and sick

those pilots are doing a good job.

We know that without the fire support of the aircraft we wouldn't be here'. Have a looksee.

Even to someone in the military it is suprising that they didn't have a more viceral reaction; especially becuase the flyer wasn't one of their own. I know Marines who have a burning hatred for the air force as one of their A-10's shot a couple of AMTRACs and killed several Marines. It is for this reason that the Marine Corps has its own air power.

It's always hard when your people are killed by your own side.

That looks well worth watching.I t is hard for the average person to imagine anything about what is going on in Afganistan. It is amazing how the media has kept us (U.S.) from seeing anything but a few images of blown up cars.
