Why do we need to kick his arse? This flight had nothing to do with America. It was an Asian airline flying from a major Euro city to a major Asian city, carrying predominantly Asian and euro passengers. Let's let Europe and Asia at least attempt to handle their own shite before we get involved.



This.

But they need to do something. This was no accident. Very easy to tell the difference between commercial and military jet in just about every way. Squawks, how it looks, how it flies, etc.

They didn't just see a dot in the sky and shoot thinking it was a military plane. This was at 32,000 fricking feet.

No one cares about Malaysia, now if it were a Lufthansa flight, problems.



I think it was a KLM codeshare, FYI, but still not on that level.

Do you not know what a "squawk" is? I find it comical anyone thinks you can lean on a SAM keyboard and fire a missile. 
No, I've only got my Airline Transport Pilot license and over 5000 hours of flight time. Please educate me on what a "squawk" is.
