If this is the way wars are being run today, we are in deep do do.

Todays "brass" would "gag" seeing our fighter cover drop CBU-2 too close to the spraying formation overflying "hot targets." Every once in a while a few CBU pellets would hit a UC-123. Our choice - keep it in close and tight. The fighter pilot who "hit" us buys the beer.

I guess today they would ground both fleets, convey a panel of generals to investigate and conduct flying evaluation boards for the pilots involved.
