Disagree have a look at Canada and other countries where there is not
the fallacy and bizarre love affair with weapons.

The right to bear arms is a crock and I very much doubt the founding
fathers
meant it to be interpreted as it NOW is by the gun nut lobby of these
times.

Possibly another reason why others when around US forces make novenas to
avoid friendly fire
See below where in part this love affair can [perhaps]lead
then the spin begins and the cover ups are a disgrace

Example " A Pentagon spokeswoman said the US government never released
documents that were part of an investigation.

The Pentagon is understood to have a long standing position of not
letting US servicemen appear before foreign tribunals."
*including their allies*

I bet not many on here are even aware of this cover up which in the
sadest manner indicates the trigger happy propensity along with so many
other breaches communication

It reduces many to almost tears of rage when this is seen
(especially trained flying crew ) who go WTF ! all the way through it

Not only was the investigation knobbled by the septic tanks but they
promoted the main man
A UK investigation found that "procedures were not followed" by the
two pilots.

The UK board singled out "POPOV36" for criticism, stating,

"POPOV36 showed a single-minded pursuit of the UK vehicles.

There is no indication he was sensitive to POPOV35’s (the other A-10
involved) workload

or the difficulties posed by addressing two possible targets at the same
time."[11]

The Sun further stated that because his name was now public, Kohntopp
could now be individually

requested to appear before the British inquest, set to resume on March
12, 2007,

into Matty Hull's death.[12] As of February 9, 2007 Kohntopp was
reported to be "in hiding."[13]

On March 16, 2007, the Oxfordshire assistant deputy coroner Andrew
Walker ruled

that the killing of Matty Hull was, "unlawful and the result of a
criminal attack"

ie the official verdict was one of unlawful killing.

Neither Kohntopp nor any other representative from the U.S. government
appeared

before or provided testimony to the inquest in spite of requests from
the British coroner to do so.[14][15]


Kohntopp is a pro gun lobbyist among other things
and now flies for a Major US Airline
