Air Force Pilots

Routinely use amphetamines. So says attorney David Beck. And that can impair their judgment enough to cause a horrific accident. Majors Harry Schmidt and William Umbach are both charged with involuntary manslaughter and other crimes in the accidental bombing and killing of four Canadian soldiers last April 17.

I can understand how Canada would be upset about these deaths. What I don't understand is how our Air Force can scape goat these two officers to placate the Canadians.
