We were taught to be <b>absolutely</b> certain of our target before engaging.
Certainly, in my opinion, they need never climb aboard another war plane ever again. But Prison time? No, I really don't think that anything will be served by giving these two accomodations at Leavenworth.

First off, i never said that they deserved prison time, if fact i said that they dont deserve it, they had no intention of killing anyone innocent, so why should they go to jail?
Also, the part about shoot and first and asking question later, that is was a statement from a Canadian Air Force soldier said after being asked by a CBC reporter, i tried to find the transcrict of the interviews because i heard it on the radio on the way into work one day. They disregarded orders, period. They were told to stand down and didn't. I dont know anything about the pressures and stresses of war, and really dont know much about war at all because I dont believe in it, call me a hippy, call me whatever, I will stand by my convictions. Here is a
report by CBC, the one that i heard but without the whole conversation with Claire Leger, the mother of Sgt. Marc Leger – one of four Canadian soldiers killed by Schmidt's bomb in April 2002.
That is were i got my information from my first post.
