| That's some pretty heavy stuff. Its John Simpson, BBC reporter coming under friendly fire. I just hope that the pilot gets to watch this - to see the total carnage he caused, the US troops they were travelling with were angry and embaressed at their fellow men. |

These are just the ones you hear about. Friendly fire kills so many every conflict but is kept as quiet as possible for obvious reasons.  |

U.S. killed 6 British troops whilst mistaking a convoy in the midle of the desert in the Iraqi conflict.
Does happen once to often in todays warfare concidring the technology that we have at hand today.  |

People like you BigupGB make me sick, and I registered just to say that.
The British people on this site need to pull their heads out of their asses. All I hear is Britian is better then America all the freaking time. Seriously, shut the fuck up.
Also, the American to Middle Eastern causality rate is 120/1 respectively.
BTW, there have been several news reports of the British military killing American troops, it happens, and neither one of our countries are to blame. |

Really?? I haven't seen or heard about a single incident in which British troops killed US troops in the last 50 years. Care to provide some evidence??
Also a 120:1 casualty ratio is slightly unrealistic isn't it? As of now there have been 17000 US casualties. Times that by a 120 and you have 2 million 'Middle Eastern' casualties.
Yes there are over-patriotic people here but don't pull stuff out your arse. |

Never seen the entire lenght of that video before just the first part. Thanks scott.
One thing is for sure though, it gave the reporter a good view on how it's like to be where a bomb falls .
As for friendly kills and all that, all i know is that there's way too many choppers that is involved in accidents with the U.S army. Like crashing when attempting to land, that i couldnt help smiling at after i learnt that everyone was okay.
Anyway, friendly kills is unavoidable. In many many cases there's missinformation on where the friendlies are moving, and sometimes information about it can be classified. And let's not forget nerveous recruits, they can be quite triggerhappy and dangerous when shit stirs up. |

Helicopters have always had a bad reputation. In Vietnam they lost over 3000 Hueys alone. I'm not saying tehey should be banned or anything but I did read somewhere that rotor blades were lasting 12 hours of flight time in Iraq cos' of the sand. Makes you wonder what you'd rather be in - Humvee or helicopter |

| Mongoose, take a bit of your own advice. As of February 4th, 2006 the U.S. reported to have lost 2,297 men (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces
/casualties/) Times that by 120 and it comes out to 256,800 which is a very good estimate to how many troops were lost on the Iraqi side. |

In this day and age, this is totally unacceptable. All ground troops should be marked and noted per area. And a pilot needs to make 150% sure before he launches something. They say that they do their best and its unavoidable, but thats a load of crap. Its easy NOT to push a button. All he has to do is fly low and watch them. If they scatter it looks good, if theyre cheering and just watching, you may want to check into it on the radio a bit better. It all comes down to how impatient and trigger happy a pilot is. SAD!  |

Casualties = killed and wounded.
Plus waht are youa actually taking about? Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom or the curretn insurgency? Even it it were all three then it's still no where near that high |

Screw you fuckin ignorant bastard If it were not for the stupid american army you would be speaking fucking german asswipe. Thats combat friendly fire happens its happened in every war. To the dude who doesnt trust helicopters in vietnam helicopters were shot down most of the time becuase they had to fly low and hug the tree line its a faster form of flying but sometimes more dangerous. I am a crewcheif so I know that black hawks are just fine they logg so many hours and have so few crashes compared to flight/crash time. Caulties numbers are considered killed and wounded but a lot of what you hear is exxagerated. Besides we have not even reached the casulty amount of the last hour of WWI and people can barely stomach it. |

| No shit reteard never said they didnt they entered service in 1978 people still fly hueys today but my point was that in vietnam the hueys flew low and fast along the treeline making them a harder target from the distance but vunerable at shortrange. Today in our black hawks we fly low and hard in iraq to avoid surface to air missles, when you see aircraft poppin flares in videos like that c130 thats real popular its to try and throw of heat signals that the terrorist use to lock onto aircraft. I still think your fuckin ignorant and in need of a good asskicking and a history lesson. |

| Yeah that's an F-14. The second plane is at least, but you can't see what type of plane actually dropped the ordinance, it could have been any number of plane types. For you who have never been in combat or a similar situation, mistakes do happen. Yes, it is horrible, but war is really controlled chaos. Humans aren't perfect, and so there is no way that war can be either. |

| I was in the Army for many years and have seen firsthand what happens during battle with both british and US troops. Most of the friendly kills can be put down to a lack battlefield intelligence or coordination between diferent troops. US troops have the highest friendly kill count but their presence in any given arena is usually higher than any other. This coupled with a lack of individuals knowledge of the enemys and allies vehicles (this I can prove as I was posted to USA to teach AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) recognition to an infantry battalion) has led to rather too many mistakes being made. Dont get me wrong here, I am not on the side of the British troops here as they have made a considerable amount of mistakes themselves. The US and UK media just tends to highlight US freindly kills because it sells papers. With the introduction of electronic tagging and increased computer security, this will hopefully be a thing of the past. Everything that shows up blue on your PDA screen is friendly, if it is red, find out what it is then, if appropriate, kill it. Nobody even knows whos fighter dropped that bomb. |

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have visited this site for years now and i am fed up with the CRAP you keep saying about the USA.
Shall I explain???
First...The jet that is in the video, is not an F-14, it's an F-15 Strike Eagle. Look at the tail fins.
Next…
Herbtree, you just keep smoking your pot and let the terrorists take care of you. I am sure that they will give you the best of care!!!
BigupGB, mhh... how old are you?... I’m going right along with what comptonlux said…. apparently you don't remember that it was the USA that was only thing that kept you from speaking GERMAN today. If it were not for the USA, the nation of England would not exist... Oh I'm sorry... I left out FRANCE, ITALY, AUSTRIA, POLAND, oh did I mention GERMANY and every other country I missed…BTW - I have family that was in Germany during WW2 so don’t even try to come back and tell me I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about... humm.. come to think about it Bigup, you and every country in Europe would be part of Hitler's regime if it were not for the USA. I agree with skettusa… you make me sick. And according to your profile… you might be free today, but the only reason that is, is because of the soldiers that died from England, the USA and every soldier from every other country that has the gonads to stand up for freedom. THAT is the only reason you are free!!! … how about trying to learn your history you moron.
Mongoose … I’m a helicopter pilot and it doesn’t matter what war they began in or the wars they have been in… they have saved more lives than they ever lost. Losing one life is losing one too many but don’t berate our helicopter service!!!
Hey Starman… it’s not on the Brits… Actually if the Arabs and Muslims had not been fighting since the beginning of time, we wouldn’t be in this situation… read your Bible friend.
Funbags… I couldn’t agree with you more… Thank you for our service Sir…
Redneck… I’m from the south and even I don’t even know what the hell you are talking about. Keep your Quron’s to yourself. Or maybe you should read them instead of wiping your mouth… ooops sorry… your ASS. Oh well… same thing
Learn your history young people and stop depending on your governments to teach it to you… stop playing your video games and take interest in the things that HAVE happened in the world. There is less of a chance that it will be repeated if everyone would just do that one simple thing. |

| from the image of the airplane involved i'm not sure whether you could say it was an F14, F15 or F16 you could even say it was a british tornado if you're only looking at the tail fin. but i'm sure it isn't an F14. besides it doesn't really matter. |

Just like everyone else it seems, you left out the russians in WWII, they died in far greater numbers than american and british soldiers combined. And they managed the germans quite nicely on their own. You might have noticed that they rolled into berlin on their own without any help from USA, the aid they got by sea has proved to be insignificent. Besides all that, one of the greatest reasons why the germans failed to win WWII was because of a certain man called hitler, if he had done what stalin did. It wouldnt matter much what the americans had done during that war. Stalin left the war to his generals, hitler didnt, he involved himself in both politics and the war at the same time. And he denied his armies to tactical retreats, which resulted in the germans being encircled and destroyed. Stalingrad is the prime example of such an order. The americans did indeed contribute to the allied victory, no doubt about that. But the war wasent won because of them, you have to take in consideration the huge misstakes the axis forces made, and the job the secret service did as well. The picture is far bigger, and the allied victory isnt that easily explained as 1-2-3. There were ALOT of factors that played a part, there were more than just a couple of occations were the germans could have won. The D-day was one of them, had the german high command mobilized it's defense as they wanted to and hitler haden't opposed it. Things had looked a bit grimmer for the allies at the beaches. |

TYRFINGR you beat me to it.
I only just registered to inform eagle 312 of the misinformation he's trying to feed the masses.
As for his history lesson, i think he's needing to go back to his books and reread them b4 coming on here and making himself look stupid.
Theres plenty more people who like myself look at these videos and read the comments posted but can't be bothered(usually) correcting the bull that comes out of the likes of eagle and the so called gerenal or whatever he called himselfs keyboards.
What they don't understand is that whether the US joined in the conflict of ww2 or not the germans were already stretched on the eastern front and were being pasted by the russians.
So the bottom line is that the US's involvement in ww2(which they were very reluctantly pushed into(in a we don't want to fight kinda way))on the european front had only a marginal impact. |

Tyrfingr – you are right. I did leave out the Russians. But if you know your history, there were 3 countries that were stanch allies during WW2. USA, The UK, and Russia. I guess I was wrong in assuming that most of you could do the research for yourself and figure out that the Russians were apart of what I’m talking about. By the way, the Russian had nothing to do with the DDay invasion!!! That was all England and America. The Russian force was on the eastern front… CHECK YOUR FACTS!!!!! There might be a chance you might just learn something.
lurker1 – Have you been smoking pot with herbtree??? I don’t know what history class you were in during school, but I pray that the teacher was a hell of a lot smarter than you. BTW – anyone who knows anything about history should know that my comments also included the Russians (as I stated before). Anyone who knows their history would know that the USSR helped in defeating Hitler!!!
So luker, don’t come back at me and tell me I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about either, or tell me I need to read my history books!... Maybe you need to open your closed minded brain and start thinking for yourself and stop listening to everyone around you!!!.. Hey that would be a good idea!!!!
Also, if you check your HISTORY you will find a little thing that happened here on December 7, 1941 called PEARL HARBOR!!! Humm,… I don’t consider that reluctantly getting involved in WW2!!! And you say we “reluctantly” got into the war???.. Yep, that just shows how smart you are!!!... TRY TAKING YOUR HISTORY AGAIN!!!
I’m glad you logged in for the first time just to show me you have NO idea of the history of WW2. I did the same thing to show people like you that you have NO idea of your history...
Here in the USA and in The UK there is something that we call “Freedom of information”!!! To bad you don’t know how to use it.
Oh yeah...You actually think that Americas involvement in DDay had “MARGINAL” results… if that’s the case then you are certainly the one showing his stupidity!!!
Learn your history before you start spouting crap out against those of us how do!!! |

| The only problem is, Russia would not have advanced so far, not nearly as far, probably would of lost actually if it wasn't for American's intervention. Without the US involvment the Germans would have had much more troops to poor onto the Eastern front, enough to whipe the rest of the Russians out who were dwindling in numbers considerably by the end. |

I know where you're coming from but personally I find it slightly funny when you say we should go and read history when your posts are littered with exaggerations and blind patriotism. Just for the record I'll ask you a question (since you asked) - who had the greatest impact on defeating the Axis powers and why? |

Blind patriotism Mongoose? I’m sorry… are you not inline with the values of freedom???... Please forgive me, I thought I was talking to rational thinking people here!!!. Blind patriotism... give me a break!!!! You really need to expand your knowledge!
As far as your question… who had the greatest impact??? That would be Sir Churchill. HE had the most to lose…Why???.... because he and England and most of Europe would have not survived if Churchill didn’t have the BALLS to stand up to the Nazi’s!!!! Jeeze…am I gonna have to teach a history lesson here??? |

That little gem right there is at worst dodgy history; at best the reason not to listen to you on such matters.
As per the question i agree, though I meant 'which country had the greatest impact'.
I'm not disagreeing with you per se but please stop saying 'expand more knowledge' blah blah. It's expanded enough - in fact I wish it were narrowed so I wouldn't look a complete geek all the time.  |

Check my facts !?! 
Where in my text did i ever mention that the russians had anything to do with the D-day ?, for fucks sake. Dont mean to be rude, but that is common knowledge if there ever was one. Every damn kid knows that it was a U.S - U.K operation... I took up the D-day as an example of an occation where the germans could have won, at least temporarily kept the western allies out of the european mainland... Just read what it says!.. *sigh*
Some people just seem to avoid seeing what people are writing on this site it seems, first is was Bah...

Tyrfingr, thank you for backing up my facts….But one thing…did I give you the impression that I didn’t know what the hell this thread was about???.... I am so sorry!!!.... Sorry that you are not smart enough to recognize the truth behind what I’m saying…
We can continue this crap as long as you as you want. Just make sure you have your facts straight…. Oh yeah… and grow up! |

| I'm a Us citizen and I'm here to tell you that watching reporters get blown up realy has nothing to do with bashing on each others contrys. Plus WW2 dosn't matter much seeing that is was really the Russains that did all the northern killing... They where the loons who lost 22 million men getting to berlin. |

I always thought it were Europeans to discover America, settled there, slaughtered the natives and formed a nation..??  |

Damn... And here I was always thinking it was the Swedish that stopped the whole war... ... Daym!
Hey but from what I got in Europe was Russia had all the fighting in the North, and it was them who marched upon Berlin (surely the fall of the Reichstag at Berlin?). They managed to fight back the Germans from Berlin. The British with their dominant Navy and Airforce also repelled the Germans from getting beyond France.
Obviously one has to appreciate the group effort as joint nations to fight a common foe, and America did very much send troops and fight in the conflict - but I think that what one is referring to when an American says 'they ended the war' is dropping nuclear weaponry decimating the populations of two japanese cities?
Each country will always have its own propoganda leading to believe it was their country alone that held the key to ending the war. We all know it is not true. It was definitely a group effort, some countries being closer to the conflict than others were more tested in their valour and courage, thats for sure!
Although I must admit there have been a rather disproportionately high number of friendly fire 'mistakes' in US troops in Iraq (as compared to many other countries) - even when actively trying to find reports about other troops and friendly fire incidents. |

Bloody hell no!! i had quite enough of long drawn out conversations with the idiot Bah figure, so no. If i am to hold any kind of long debates, i just wait with that shit til Scott is done with the forum. I have this ugly habit of getting involved in debates on the net for some reason.
Well, in any case. Im sorry if i pissed you off. I just got a bit agitated there with the whole missinterpretations with the russian thing.. Let's just shake hands and call it quits ?, no reason to keep yapping at each other over petty differences. |

Ouch... thats pretty nasty.. The reporter was kinda dumb, though I'm sure being 12 yards away from a bomb exploding doesnt exactly increase your wits. Blood dripped onto the camera lense at the edge, so he smeared it around into the center of the lens making it even more difficult to see  |

To Eagle312:
As a rotary wing pilot for any armed services, i'd expect you to have a better recognition of your aircraft. I am an F-14 pilot (for those of you fools who would like to think that i'm the pilot responsible for the bombing, no, i'm not) stationed at NAS Fallon at the Naval Fighter Weapons School, or Top Gun for those of you that dont know what else to call it. That aircraft is indeed an F-14 Tomcat as was pointed out in the early comments. The F-15 Eagle does not have articulated wings, which you can clearly see in the shot where the aircraft returns to the area on the second pass. It has fixed wings which slope back at a 37.2 degree angle, far greater than the slope you can see in the video. I respect your service to your country, but if you're going to stab at someone for accuracy, please make sure your facts are correct first. |

and yet they still completed all of their objectives.
we dont need no super tech crutches to fight our wars!
Also germany would never have been able to invade England, the RAF saw to that.
so when the Germans are crossing the channel getting bombed by the RAF and shelled by the Navy, i wonder how many would arrive at the shore to be machine gunned down?
the Germans were bloody useless without their tanks. |
