"Our US cousins do tend to be a little gung ho in the face of battle."

I was first told of this in about 1958 by WW2 survivors. 'Trigger happy Yanks', they called them back then.

Just read Peter de la Billiere's thoughts about the USMreenKaw's gung ho-ism in GW1 in 'Storm Command'.....

Condolences to the families of those killed and injured. Thoughts also to the aircrew involved, who must surely be feeling pretty gutted.
