A Furious British Helicopter Pilot who came under "friendly fire" from American troops landed yards 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******* Iraqi in a helicopter?"
The pilot and the marine had to be pulled apart as American troops advanced on the north of Baghdad, according to US 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 for tolerating fools gladly."
The following was broadcast live on CNN 24th of March
In front of camera is the CNN anchor. He is joined by three American military experts (one being a retired two-star general from the 'elite' Delta Force) and a British ex soldier. Footage on side-screen shows Iraqi soldiers surrendering to coalition troops.
CNN Anchor: "We've no current verification as to whether these are US or British troops the Iraqis are surrendering to."
Yank 1: "They look to be ours - only US troops wear boots like those."
Yank 2: "Indeed, and they appear to have the standard issue camouflage fatigues."
Yank 3 (Delta Force): "I'm not sure - we'll have to get close-up images of them to be 100%. We'll definitely be able to tell from the shape of their Kevlar helmets if they're ours."
Ex : "I'm surprised to learn you're all experts. Since when did US forces carry the SA80 rifle as standard issue? Their DPMs could've been bought, as could their boots and webbing for that matter, so you're chasing rainbows if you can I.D them from their clothes!"
Anchor: "I think you're right."
Ex : "Of course I'm bloody right - anyone with half a brain and basic military training worth their salt should be able to I.D a British soldier by his rifle unless he's special forces! Not to mention the fact that they're covering all their arcs of fire properly, not shouting "woo yeah!" randomly and haven't raised a flag in direct contravention of their orders!"
.......At this point one of the Americans pulls his mike off and leaves the floor. The other two look very uncomfortable.......
Anchor: "I think we can safely say that the soldiers on your screen are British............."
