obviously all a load of garbage...the pilots fired without being100% of their target.

In some professions there will always be a chance of an accident regardless of safeguards...the military happens to be one.



- the individual who fired on the British vehicle has advanced through the ranks since the incident - it was reported on BBC news last night that he is now a colonel - The Sun newspaper today names Col Gus Kohntopp as the pilot who fired the shots.


So what... if it was an accident and he was not to blame or court marshaled...why shouldn`t he be promoted. If you don`t get promoted in the military you might as well leave.
