If it is our guys, heads and careers will roll. If it was Afghan's we were in support of, heads will still likely roll but maybe not as many. <br /><br />There hasn't been enough information released yet to really no how this will go. If we do find that it was Afghans calling this is then it will bring into question the idea of Air support to indigenous forces without our forces on the ground.
