They should have gotten their shit together. Honestly, I think they were just in a kind of "get some, kill kill kill" brain mode. The entire Israeli military went maximum effort for a continuous 72 hours it seemed like. That's good! But get your head out of your ass. The transcription I read came from a book covering the incident, and it mentioned that the pilots went on, like, 14 sorties after this incident, and it was the 3rd of the day. That's absolutely frenetic, but you've still got to positively identify your targets.
TBH, I'd be way more pissed off than Johnson was, who basically did fuck all. 34 dead and 137 wounded? Oh yeah. I'm not saying to need to cause casualties, but perhaps if the little cub Liberty gets smacked around, maybe Mama Bear "Sixth Fleet" should make a few runways magically disappear.
