So all over the British news right now is the video released of these two American fighter pilots accidentally firing on a British convoy in 2003 and killing one troop. The video is being used in court. The general attitude towards the fighter pilots is sickening... they seem to be taking the blame, even though the incident was mostly due to faulty intelligence and communication. These things always happen in war, they can't be avoided. Human error should be forgiven. The poor pilot in the video was obviously very very distressed after hearing of his mistake. I feel more sorry for him than the dead soldier.

Does anyone know if the pilots would have been punished in any way? Because that would really suck. An incident like this could easily destroy these guys' lives, which they don't deserve to have happen. They were just doing their job. And at least they had the decency to be obviously upset about it.
