Twenty-five Years Ago: The 1991 Iraq Gulf War, America Bombs the “Highway of Death”

Carsten Wiethoff Wrote:Not all of the military personnel was happy with this kind of "warfare". As an example, F16 pilot Keith Rosenkranz in his book "Vipers in the Storm" describes his mixed feelings when he was ordered to kill these people who were clearly in retreat.
It is like shooting fleeing people in the back.

Rosenkranz left the military after the war and had a long carreer in civil aviation.

Yeah, he was so unhappy about it he decided to do it and committed a war crime. He could have said "No". He could have resigned. He and every other person military or civilian involved in bring this to reality should be charged with it. Instead they collect book royalties and get have long comfortable careers. The military is full of such cowards and moral vacuums. They should turn their weapons of the officers giving them these criminal orders. Instead from the safe distance of their plane bristling with armour piercing bullets and bombs they shoot masses of people in retreat in the back. And then complain about the PTSD. 'Poor me'
