View Full Version : Friendly Fire
from the Daily Mirror, Monday April 7th 2003, page 4
Brit Pilot's Punch-up
A Furious British Helicopter Pilot who came under "friendly fire" from American troops landed yards from them, leapt out and exchanged punches with a US Marine. The Chinook pilot shouted at him: "When was the last time you saw a f******* Iraqi in a helicopter?" The pilot and the marine had to be pulled apart as American troops advanced on the north of Baghdad, according from US reports from US Central Command in Qatar. British military spokesman Group Captain Al Lockwood said: "I'm afraid it would be an RAF kind of thing to do. "These guys are not known for tolerating fools gladly."

It was bound to happen eventually, I'm suprised this has not happened sooner.
Edit: And the damn hick got exactly what he deserved imo, these friendly fire incidents are getting completly pathetic now with the targets. With the British rather pissed off about this you would think the american troops would be a bit more careful at the moment. All I can say is that its a shame they broke it up ;)
This shows that these so-called "brave American soldiers" are scared ****less and are cowards. I mean they shoot anything they see moving, LOL.

Not if SEALs where in the area. ;)
I can't defend this dork. I do love the pilot's response. "how many Iraqi air craft do you see"? BHAHAHA

This describing the United States Armed Forces whom have won every major conflict they have been involved in with the exception of Vietnam. You, sitting back comfortably wherever you are, are the coward sir.

First off You do have freedom of speech here but you don't have freedom from consequences. Don't try and use our laws against us in a argument when you don't know them. :rolleyes:
Sedcondly, no one asked you your opinion. ;)
Thirdly, this isn't a government forum. This is a private forum and you can be censored or kicked off for expressing opinions that the mods deem grossly offensive.
Fourthly, no one asked you your opinion. ;)
BTW did I tell you to crawl back under your rock? :confused:

I'm surprised there are still people out there who use this lame excuse. This is a privately-owned forum so freedom of speech doesn't entire apply here. Otherwise there would be no need for forum rules and mods (bye bye volt :p). American's Freedom of speech applies out in the general public in American soil.

Every time some country tries to develop weapons for defence, America calls them a "threat" and a "terrorist" and goes and bombs them. So, OBVIOUSLY, America (right now) is the only one capable of "winning" such things. Talk about being unfair. :rolleyes:
Secondly, America only wins "from the sky," they are SCARED like crap to fight like real people (which is on the GROUND).

We just did fight on the ground and kicked the crap out of every unit we met, you dolt. Also we didn't use WMD to win.
You are complaining about it being unfair. Awww poor baby wood u wike a binky to suck on? What a joke. If they didn't want their arss kicked then they should have listened and gave up their WMD.
The US army could have taken Iraq with out air power. The Iraqi army does not have any NCO's only officers. This is a huge mistake. The strength of our army is our NCO's who are on the ground making decisions on the fly instead of relaying info back to a political officer or party member.

Scared to fight on the ground? Sorry, but you sir are making Sun Tzu roll in his grave.
It's all about tactics. Why risk thousands or tens of thousands dead when you have the technology and capability to do just as much damage with much fewer casualties.
As much as I'm against American agression, our military can still kick anyone's ass (and yes Vamp, that includes your SAS :p ;))

What about that article EXACTLY leads you to believe he is a hick? Is it the fact he is an American, a Marine, or were you there?

aha, but we have more divisions than you! We've got SEALS, Delta Force, Rangers, Green Berets, and probably quite a few CIA-run groups that won't be made known for quite some time. You have the SAS and SBS.
All jest aside, American and British forces work and train together, and God help the poor bastard who messes with either of us.
