From todays Daily Mirror:

A furious British helicopter pilot who came under "friendly fire" from American troops landed just yards away from them, leapt out and exchanged punches with a US marine.

The chinook pilot shouted at him "when was the last time you saw a f*****g Iraqi in a helicopter?"

The pilot and the marine had to be pulled apart as American troops advanced on Baghdad according to reports from US central command in Qatar.

British military spokesman group captain Al Lockwood said " I'm afraid it would be an RAF kind of thing to do". "These guys are not known to suffer fools gladly"

I hope that pilot got several good licks in on that young marine! Sounds like he needed to get some sense knocked into him!

Jarheads... you're just encouraging them by taking a swing.

I think we need to tell ground forces to refrain from firing on anything airborn (since there's a virtual 100% probability it's ours).
