I know a couple of people who, while being quoted accurately by the embedded journo, were quoted out of context (i.e. long into the night after a beer call and allegedly off the record). This led to a sensationalist story being produced. Sound bites are all very well but do not give the full picture. Brick and the rest of our brethren across the pond make a good point and West Coast's point is spot on.

Maybe we should not be so quick to spam bash because of the actions of a few? Could this just be harsh banter from US Apache pilots to the AAC?

There is a significant difference of approach between Brits and Spams but which is the more correct - probably only the history books will let us know.

Awaiting inbound......
