video - alot of people dying
Here's a video i found on flabber.nl of a 500 pound bomb being dropped on a group of people. I think they are trying to say that this could be a war crime, as they didnt know who the people were - but i'm not going to argue about that - i have no idea. Either way, the guy at the end sounds like he knows he's gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life.

The person who dropped the bomb is a pilot doing his job... i think he'll be able to sleep at night.

He was given the greenlight under a strict ROE. If you think this is a war crime then i'd love to hear what you've heard on this video via link etc.

Although, My dad is good friends with some A-10 pilots who saw action during the gulf war, and even though they understand that they were doing their job, when the reality of what they were doing caught up with them, it haunted them pretty bad. Regardless of how much a military machine you are, if you are unlucky enough to let your guard down and let the human side sneak in a bit - it has to haunt you on some level. These were intelligent, nice guys, and when we're all out standing by our cessnas and luscombes with beers, shootin the **** - you could see these guy's face darken just a hint when it was brought up.
My mother worked in the ER for a long time too, and there were ways that she could keep cool, by just thinking of peoples bodies as vehicles, as machines, and then just trying to find humor in the situations. All of our veteran pilot friends think about it the same way.
Military proffesionalism can only mask so much, but It's a catch 22.
