The pilots on the receiving end of the aim9 would know if their transponder was functioning or sent the return, right? Should be an open and shut investigation once they talk to all parties involved and tell the Kuwaitis to reprimand the shithead for almost killing our guys.

It varies by aircraft type, but generally a pilot will receive an alert if the IFF has failed, but will generally not receive a notice that the IFF has been interrogated; that happens so often that it would become a distraction.

That had to hurt

Kurds are a tough go in this situation in any case as it would be a big issue for Turkey and they won’t be welcomed by the Persian majority. Things are tricky in that part of the world.

When sheet flows downhill it always seems to land on the Kurds.

Yeah, they always come up with the short end

Probably shouldn’t have told them to rise up and then let them all get slaughtered if we were hoping for an uprising.

How is the status of "combat" established? Does it require some form of declaration of war?

More or less the "so anyway, I started blasting" meme.

Some theories have circulated online suggesting that a misfired Iranian missile was responsible for the strike on the school, but The Times and other online analysts debunked the claim, in part by determining that a single errant missile wouldn’t have caused such precise and targeted damage to several buildings across the naval base.

U.S. officials say the strike is still under investigation. If it’s confirmed to be an American bomb that hit Shajarah Tayyebeh, one question is likely to be whether the school strike was a mistake or whether it was targeted based on outdated information.

Janina Dill, an expert on the laws of war at Oxford University, said attackers were obligated to "verify the status” of what they targeted to ensure that civilians were not being harmed. Failure to do so could violate international law, she added.

Too late for that. Israel is bombing the hell out of Beirut this evening.

To quote you about that school "cost of war". Kinda harsh but your words on the matter. Guess you are the actual POS to say something like that.

If only you were as focused on Iran hitting hospitals and the like in Israel.

Stop. Seriously. It's F'ing disgusting to keep knowingly lying about this. A sheet ton of little girls are dead. We both know that when you lob missiles into a country, innocent people die. That's the cost of war.

That's the cost of war. So cold

I couldn't help but notice, due to my ability to actually read, that the very report posted there states that it is still not confirmed to be a missile from US forces and the investigation is ongoing. I just read past the bolded part.... They are trying to dunk too soon.

Nice cop out, weirdo.

And I haven’t seen you post anything about hospitals in Israel but put it on the pile as one more of a thousand reasons the fat rapist shouldn’t have started this war.

Still being investigated means we know we f’ed up. It would not take this long. We did it.

Or Israel. But it’s kind of the same thing at this point. Trump’s turned us into their vassal state.
