This is a video of the American airforce killing one British soldier and wounding another.

It angers me that POPOV36 was being ignored so much. But i think the key points here are that the pilots did ask to confirm friendlies where not in the area and were cleared to fire.

I dont know whether thats real remorse for their actions meaning guilt or if they're thinking of themselves and the trouble they are in, either way its another case of the fog of war.

I generally sympothise with these pilots and dont think they should be prosecuted, they done there job to the best of their ability and we're screwed with dodgy intel, the guys directly responsible should be tried, the ones who confirmed no friendlies.

(yes im British)
