According to the guy who sent me this (he's from Philadelphia who moved to Toronto and then back to South Carolina), he says the following:
"The Canadians should have known they were creating a real risk by performing live fire exercises under view of the American Pilots. Sure, I feel some sympathy for them, but they should have known better. Never use ammo when the Americans are flying."
-------------------- "And slowly, you come to realize, it's all as it should be, you can only do so much. If you're game enough, you could place your trust in me. For the love of life, there's a tradeoff, we could lose it all but we'll go down fighting...." - David Sylvian FreeSpace 2, the greatest space sim of all time, now remastered!

So who cares what this guy thinks? The pilot in question is being court-martialed, and will be found guilty or innocent as the court decides.

Well, as she puts it they were given no info about live fire exercises in the area. This is the armed forces that the rest of the world is supposed to follow into battle? No wonder the rest of the world is so reluctant. Seems like incompetence from the top Commander all the way down to the bottom.
Still the guy who sent you the email is an ass.

It's both amusing and saddening that people with such attitudes exist.

actually the rule is never have ammo, or oil, while the americans are running roughshod over the principles of civilized international behavior in the name of greed and their lust for violent domination of the world. so technically the canadians were in the way.

Perhaps there is no wish to dominate land as such, but resource domination? I'd say they're totally out to dominate global resources.

It should be "and only attack Canadian forces with immunity."
