"I don't think they liked it when some F15s killed 26 US personnel in a friendly-fire incident -- a hazard in any military operation --" You even been to an air force base? When I was in college the first time, I worked for Tampa Coca Cola. One summer, I had McDill air force base on my route. McDill is, or at least was, a SAC base there at the end of Dale Mabry. There was a sign at the gate which said something along the lines of "__ days since last fatal accident". There was never more than two digits and often only one. Fatalities are part of working around those planes. That's outright slander if not treason. How dare you suggest that the US of A military is anything but perfect. Stand down, boy!
