Sure, I'm not saying that the pilot didn't deserve the punishment he got! If he received more than he got, not one whine would escape my lips. He did make a mistake, e.g. that of being trigger-happy. He was told to wait for target confirmation, but did not.
My beef is that it looks like the buck stopped well down the chain of command/communication. To me, it is inexcusable for a combat pilot (or any military personnel) to be sent out without proper information about PLANNED movements and actions of allied forces.
