The British are your friends. We are allies and have been for along time, so....for the love of God...stop dropping bombs on us!

Please, train your pilots better. You are getting a reputation of not being able to hit a barn door from ten paces.

USAF Bomb the UK by mistake

mikeflca · 12th January 2004, 22:11

seems rather ....unimportant to me.

1)it was a 'practice bomb'
2)it caused a HUGE 18 inch crater.
3)nobody was hurt.

OK, so obviously this isn't good in any respects....but it seems rather crude that we are bitching about a practive bomb making a 18 inch crater while people die in Iraq from the real thing.....but that's just me....

Its humour, a laugh, a bit of fun to the brighten the day. You could tell that by the way I wrote it.

Yeah and it was in East Yorkshire, so not much harm could've been done, even if it was live.

sry. I've lost my sense of humor. completely. I've been

all day.

However, there's an actualy story on that crap....

not really a pilot training issue. the intelligence and tactics are what needs fixing, not that you'll hear anyone admit it.

Or they could all just stop playing silly buggers - learn to get along with one another and then maybe the things could be turned in to something constructive instead of destructive..practice or otherwise...
