USAF to Pay 230 Million For Texas Church Massacre

What honestly surprises me is the government let the case go forward in the first place. Weird quirk of law is that in order to sue the government you need to get permissions from the government.

I would assume they would have just put the kibosh on this one. Ya know governmental immunity and all.

The fact of the matter is the government DID recognize a legal issue in the case and DID let it move forward, with the reported result. Perhaps you should be a little less cynical about your government.

I agree wholeheartedly that the victims deserve the settlement. But who's paying is not who's responsible.

Let's think of this through the eyes of a civics minded society. This might be a little more difficult to associate with the military, but the military is a function of the government we elected and put in place. We didn't fail to submit the paperwork, but the people we put in place did.

As I learned in civics we are responsible for the government WE put in place.[/QUOTE]

If elected officials had done this, I would have to agree with you, albeit grudgingly. But we don't elect our military.
