Seroiusly you lot?

If this had been a 19 year old, scared and unsupported pilot dropped into a no win scenario and caused a death/deaths would this much judgment be unleashed either for or against?

It's terrible that a poor kid killed another poor kid in circumstances nobody would have chosen, but the difference between a learning system and the blame/politics system is so stark. A more enlightened approach could have saved so many scenarios that followed and arguably 20 plus years of war. If you can't see that, you should be on the Daily Mail website instead.

Just my humble view but you know I'm right.
