[MilCom] A-10 friendly fire attack on British ground troops video

[Peter Tomlinson]

The video has been given to an inquest into the death of the soldier, 
but how it was leaked rather than being officially released is not 
known, and how much editing it had had is also not known. For most 
viewers its the clear comms that can be followed; the pictures are 
almost impossible to follow.

There was a lot of analysis on UK mainstream TV channels last night, 
with the conclusion being that many small mistakes added up to a disaster.

And the Sun is indeed a tabloid (known as one of the Red Tops), with a 
large circulation in the UK.
