How many people?

What do Iraq war vets put on their planes?

Camels perhaps? Actally I do not believe that they are allowed to put anything on their aircraft any more. Political correctness and all that. But perhaps I am wrong.

I would be more concerned with the people on the ground - I don't know what the aircrews would put on their planes in the absence of any meaningful opposition.

As to the question posed in the title, I find it hard to pass judgement on the crew of that airplane for its kill markings - I assure you they were as likely to die as the people on the other side, and they too had kill markings. War is hell, no question about it. With a perspective of time its easy to draw the conclusion that there are no good guy, and no bad guys - just people thrown into a cauldron of horrible events... But lets not forget that the kids that went, those who came back and those who didn't, did it to ensure that we could sit here and question their actions in peace and freedom. That respect and gratitude should always come first.

My family has many vets who fought in wars not of their choosing. Some of which they and I agreed with, some of which we did not. Rather than judge the crew or feel respectful and grateful, these kill markings just made me wonder. My goal was to make people think, without necessarily telling them what to think. Thanks for your comments.
