Lets put it into perspective here eh, you have a Navy aircraft carrying 24 souls on board with 2 jets either side of it, do you really believe that the EP3 played dodgems in the sky against the 2 jets, I think not.
OK there is an argument why were they there in the first place but there is no doubt in my mind that the dumb ass chinese pilot got too close for his own good and here is the result.
Made me laugh when the crew were relaesed because then the apology was withdrawn and quite rightly so.
Who cares what they do with the EP3 most of the intelligence was withdrawn anyway and the rest of it the chinese probably already knew so who cares a toss.
In my mind the chinese are full of crap, and are going the right way about making life difficult for themselves, because they need the US more than the US needs them.
