I am quite appalled by the decision to drop charges. Being a Canadian, I've followed this issue ever since it happened. What would have happened if a Canadian plane (ROFL, we virtually have no aircraft) dropped a bomb on US troops? Then maybe the issue wouldve been taken more seriously.
Our armed forces are already so tiny...and losing soldiers to "FRIENDLY fire" only makes us smaller.

Virtually no aircraft? Your misinformed Scope. I admit we don't have anywhere near the inventory of the U.S.A. but we do have a personnel count of nearly 20000 spread across 13 Air Wings with a combat strength of 765 airworthy vehicles. 112 of those happen to be CF-18 Hornets.
And as for what happened. I think that these pilots should have at least been demoted
