Double Standards

I believe that the latest Crown Office statement on the Clutha helicopter accident, and their decision to call an FAI because, An FAI will allow a full public airing of all the evidence at which families and other interested parties will be represented. It is right that the evidence can be vigorously tested in a public setting and be the subject of judicial determination”, is a testament of the double standards applied to civil and military accidents in Scotland, as it is only appled to civilian cases. Surely, this justification should have applied to the Tornado accident, for example.
