RAF Pilot Slots US Marine
Discussion
This story was in the Mirror today, although I can't find it on their web site.
In yet another "friendly fire" incident a US marine decided to open fire on a RAF Chinook Helicopter in central Iraq.
The pilot put down his helicopter yards from the marines and leapt out shouting "when was the last time you saw a f
g Iraqi helicopter?"
The two needed to be pulled apart after the brit pilot threw punches at the marine.
In a classic quote from Group Captain Al LocKwood
"It sounds like a typical RAF thing to do, they don't suffer fools gladly".
Priceless.

bloody fantastic (if true) 
WTF do they teach these crazy yank fcuks?
Fcukwitted Gung-ho oil-powered Bruce Willis wannabe retards..
My brother in law is an ex-US Marine.. no wonder he got the hell out - he's not an idiot by any stretch of the imagination... they all probably felt persecuted, being around someone with an IQ above that of a mollusc.
Edit: Fair play to the RAF guy - I'd have been inclined to return fire and wipe the
out! >> Edited by CarZee (moderator) on Monday 7th April 13:49
On a similar note:
Maybe this explains why British troops keep getting shot by the US forces:
Experts with newscaster on CNN 24th March.
3 US experts including a former 2-star general from delta force, 1 UK ex SAS and the network anchor.
Footage of Iraqis giving themselves up.
Anchor: We have no verification as of yet if they are British or American troops taking these POW's
Yank1: Only Americans wear boots like that, they're American
Yank 2: I agree, and they appear to have american camouflage jackets.
Yank 3 (delta force bloke): I'm not so sure, there's not enough up-close detail to tell 100%, we'd need some close images to tell make of boots and jackets and maybe the shape of their kevlar headgear.
Ex SAS man: Call yourselves experts? Since when did US forces use an SA80 as a standard issue rifle? Their DPM's can be bought as can boots so you're chasing rainbows if you want to identify them from their clothes.
Anchor: I think you're right.
Ex SAS man: Course I'm bloody right. Any one with half a brain and basic military training worth their salt should be able to identify a British soldier by his rifle. Not to mention the fact they're covering all points properly, not shouting "woo yeah" randomly, and haven't raised a flag in direct contravention with orders.
At this point 1 of the yanks walks off stage tearing his mic off, and the Anchor says "I think we can safely say the soldiers on your screen are British. Now for these messages".

You mean that can't count to 2!
Come on these guys may be careless but they're our bro's besides, I want a ride on the USS Blair super carrier that we've been promised. Don't forget how many of them there are and we aren't being told how many of their own they have shot? Still there's no excuse for most of these mistakes. Hell, I reckon they have time to check first before they shoot their load and drop their bombs.

Lets not forget guys that we are all on the same side.
Quite why the marine in question acted the way he did is unclear.
Remember at the start of this action that some disaffected "muslim" marine lobbed a grenade into a command and control tent.
It may be a similar kind of thing, in which case id agree, shoot the fcuker dead.
Having said that, i do feel that the US is having problems identifying its targets correctly, to the cost of all concerned.
