Punditry: Friendly fire video will appear on YouTube

[andygates]

Here's my prediction for the day.  The US military have classified a cockpit video which allegedly shows an A-10 crew killing a British tank and, inside it, a chap called Matty Hull.  The coroner at Matty's inquest has seen the video and is furious, demanding that it be declassified.  So far, the Powers that Be have failed to do this.  Everything points to the video showing trigger-happy tank killers killing the wrong tanks, and the "secret" classification being purely to save face.

A blag of that tape is going to get on YouTube.  I don't know how but I'd say within the week.  Because this sort of dumb cover-up stinks, and because it'll get the uploader their fifteen minutes.  You heard it here first

Tell that to Saddam Hussein, Nick Berg, and the legions of the mangled.

Frankly, the more real, visceral, hideous brutal fuck-ups we see, maybe the less we'll tolerate our so-called leaders starting opportunistic wars in our names.
