That came under the heading of "**** happens in war", Don. Apologies are
not
required.

(I assume you know a cynical remark when you see it).

Yes....trouble is, there's a sizeable group of characters in here who really
do believe that psychology.



I doubt there is anyone here who is happy about the Canadians getting killed. It
was a damn shame. I'm sorry it happened, for both the Canadians and the pilots.

Well, I imagine there is at least one or two here who *were* happy with the
news. It gave them more ammunition in their 'hate the military' campaign.

How do you know they never apologized? Do you mean to say they never 'publicly'
apologized?

I wonder if that drunk Canadian boater from Leamington ever apologized to
the families of the Americans he killed in a boating accident on the US side
of Lake Erie a few years back?

The parents of one of their victims said so this month in the local paper.
Do you think it's the fault of the surviving parents...maybe not listening
hard enough?

Which indicates they didn't apologize to the parents. They may well have
apologized to the Canadian unit commander or other mates of the individuals.

or to the barmaid at their local legion, or to their own families for
putting them through this distasteful business......or maybe the guy on the
street corner who bums for spare change...

Don, would it make a damn bit of difference to you? If they'd made a public
apology, you'd be down on them 'cause it wasn't soon enough, or heartfelt
enough, or not enough tears, or some damn thing.

Do you really think they shot up a bunch of Canadians on purpose?

They disobeyed a direct order and displayed that 'shoot'em up cowboy
attitude that creates disdain for the US military in many parts of the
world. Of course they didn't bomb the Canadians on purpose....I don't think
they really cared who they were blasting. It could have been Brits, or your
own troops. If the US Military cared about it's image, it would discourage
this type of yahoo.
