My mistake, sorry. Abject apologies for your hurt feelings. In my service days female pilots were not common.

Why do I assume charges would be filed?

Because I have a jaundiced view of military legal systems and would expect something on the lines of 'Pilot X was not briefed to discharge any of the weapons on A-10 serial number xx-xxxxx'
'On such and such a date pilot X did cause a M-156 to be launched occasioning an impact in an area not designated for weapon release' - and/or variations of same.

Notice that I am in no way blaming the pilot.
