Friendly Fire Cockpit Video Iraq 2003. Matty Hull Killed

Friendly Fire Cockpit Video Iraq 2003

Lance Corporal Matty Hull, 25, from Berkshire, England was killed in Iraq in 2003 by (un)friendly fire from U.S fighter jets.

For years UK/US security denied the existance of this cockpit video but here it is, finally revealed.

IMHO. It's all too easy to blame the clear incompetence of the U.S pilots. YET AGAIN this shabby, amateur Labour government must be held accountable for failing YET AGAIN to equip our troops with up to date equipment. It seems rather than investing in advanced 21st century communications equipment that would have prevented this, they relied on the cheaper alternative of using the colour orange. Pathetic! I hope the facts of this aspect don't get buried in the typical knee-jerk anti-American jingoism that is so trendy in Britain these days.

I remember a saying my granddad told me form his time in WW2.

When the British shot the Germans ducked.

When the Germans shot the British ducked.

When the yanks shot everybody ducked.

Who gives a fuck about friendly fire..You could call it karma for all of the innocents we have killed over there. Unless they are idiots or just plain sick/blood thirsty, anyone with their morals intact would not join the army and support what our leaders are doing...

You can see exactly what happened, as is the problem with all soldiers. Killing isn't a solemn duty to them, they enjoy it, it excites them, their first priority was being able to shoot their guns, any other consideration was secondary. You can see it in the helicopter video of those journalists who were killed, every military scandal of unlawfull killing and abuse of power.

@stalkerbeats "anyone with their morals intact..." coming from someone who doesn't think that this is bad because two wrongs make a right. What a horrible little human being you are.

Nothing has changed since WW2.......the yanks used to attack RAF formations. Just read an account of a young 20 year old tempest pilot shot down on his first mission by Americans flying outside of their assigned sector. When spits used to escort US bombers they never got too close because the yanks would try and shoot them down. Money can't buy proffessionalism!!!!
