'We weren't there so we shouldn't judge.'
Come on, UnderPowered, that won't wash. Nobody should be held to account for actions in war except by people who were also there at the time?
Judging after the event at 1g with cup of coffee etc isn't easy and must be done by those suitably qualified, but sometimes it must be done nonetheless. This is a case in point.
I still struggle square the U.S. inquiry findings - that they followed correct procedures for an attack - with the transcript.
And if they did follow 'correct procedures' what does that say about U.S. Air Force's SOPs?
