They're talking on their discrete intraflight frequency, as well as on the UHF/VHF. The more conversational stuff is on the discrete freq and I would expect it to flow the way it does. I don't think that shows a lack of professionalism.
I do think that shooting the gun having already established doubt about the ID of the targets is inexcusable.
I also wonder why they weren’t getting the GFAC to squirt his target with a laser so that they could cue their Litening or Pave Penny spot trackers onto them for confirmation.
I think that one of the most interesting (telling?) comments is right at the start, when the flight lead suggests they get a move on because of time. Were they running out of time in the kill box? Did this cause them to rush? I think that now would be a very good time for the USAF to present its own findings before people (and I am guilty of this) start picking the VTRS tape apart and drawing their own conclusions.
