I suspect a U.S. pilot would not have "pulled the trigger" in that environment, but at that level in Turkey "the cowboy" doesn't get many opportunities for a notch on "his belt" and took one. The problem is "trigger happy" can start wars and at minimum chill down cooperative opportunities for mutual assistance.

As for the "military industrial complex" .....
........ would you rather the "complex" make solar panels and sell them overseas? Originally Posted by LexusLover

I think their attitude is...."he just dropped bombs on us, so h's a dead man".
War is a nasty business. You have Russia and Iran backing Assad, and the NATO Nations in particular backing the Rebels.
This whole "Rebel" thing is confounded by who hates who more, some are Sunni, some are Shiite, they are kinda in that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing at the moment. But, the minute Assad is gone, one of the two will star chanting....." My Gos bigger than your God" and the killing just continues..........
Just like it has for over a thousand years. Originally Posted by Jackie S

There are some "upgrades" of the 24, so I guess right now we aren't 100% certain of the variation shot down.
Actually the new report said it was two "tricked out" F16's. Seems the military industrial complex is making new billions with the tensions in the world.
