Warrior and rabid defender of the US Constitution. We strive to remain financially friendly. Amenš

This did of course spark some copycatting, especially from L1.
Some people from my recent past are noisily becoming too small to see. It is good to lighten the load from time to time.

So there was this USAF on USMC LAI kinetic event during the so-called Persian Gulf I.
The Air Force pilot accidentally killed almost a dozen jarhead grunts.
Nobody cares.

This is not the case, Simon. Lots of people care, we just don’t know what to do. What can we do?

This is a serious question. Is there someone I can write a letter to? Is there something I can do? Because I will do it. I am so incredibly sorry.

I have lost the bubble. Write a letter to your local university asking if you can organize the students to defend their Constitutional rights, maybe?

Or maybe you want to write a letter to the parents of those killed and wounded by the Airman?
Just the killed?
Just the wounded?

I am not offended. Simply don’t know how to advise your letter writing idea without first understanding its purpose.

I suppose people do care, ST. During a short battle between India-Pakistan, a lady Indian air force controller shot down her base chopper in friendly fire. Court-of-Inquiry would have punished her, but do you think she can live with herself after that? Wouldn’t the memory of those crucial moments haunt her all her life?
