- Mistakes happen in war, even to the best and most expereinced air-forces.
- On the six-day war, Israeli jets starfed an Israeli armored column. In
- the 1982 war in Lebanon, 25 Israeli soldiers were killed within a few
- minutes when Israeli Phantom jets mistakengly took them to be Syrian
- troops.

- I don't know what to make of your post. I guess we are allowed to assume
- now that the botched attempt at releasing the US hostages at Teheran
- reflects on the average capability of the US army, and that the Mai-Lai
- massacare reflects on the average moral of US soldiers. I think neither
- of the above is true, but following your theory that a function can be
- fully reconstructed from its minimas, well... take your choice.
