I am not going to get involved in the dispute here. Could somebody tell me though....why on earth the Captain and one of the officers of the Vincennes were commended with a medal???
On what grounds? Well, if it was indeed an F-14 I can see why they would be commended. I can also see why they were not charged with negligence and manslaughter. But a medal of high honour!!! For what?
They (in hindsight) screwed up. Yes, they had a very good excuse. Did they save the ship? From what? Blue ice?
