I am not saying it was intentional, but if it wasn't this was a HUGE **** up on their part if those claims are true.

Huge clustereff to be sure.  During the first Gulf War an A-10 group attacked a UK armored column traveling the correct route, with roof top identifiers in the UK theatre of operations.  Killed a bunch of guys and the pilots where devastated.  And that occurred in as ideal a battlefield as one could want in regard to preventing blue on blue incidents.  Given how successful the Hamas propaganda has been in the West I just have a hard time believing Israel would lean into so heavily.  And that's not even considering soldiers not wanting to slaughter non-combatants.

I'd tend to agree, but at this point does it matter?  That toothpaste has been out of the tube for over seventy years.  It also does nothing to address the insanely lopsided view expressed in this thread.

And all I said was until they finish investigating themselves it looks bad and it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

That gif is shockingly appropriate for you.  Also, you're now the one misquoting yourself.
