By the way it wasn't an apology. There isn't any need of any apology. He just cleared what was the situation at that and it was in the line of duty that he shot that aircraft down.
The e-mail, with the subject line “Condolence”, dated Fri, Aug 5, 2011, is copied to Naushad Patel and Jagan Pillarisetti, the Indian contacts who helped Mr Hussain to reach out to the bereaved family, something he had wanted to do for some time.
atleast he had guts to clearify and apologize although he was not on the wrong side unlike many other people who dont have such guts even after they commit blunders
True - I remember Muradk's post here when he mentioned that after his first combat kill he was quite sad because when he shot down the Indian Fighter he did not see pilot ejecting so he was quite sad that he has killed someone's son/father.Pilots are human too, they may kill others in line of duty for their country but somewhere in their hearts they always have soft spots for the families . I wish we would have our politicians with such hearts on both side so it would never have been the case and never ever such number of peoples would have been killed on both sides of the border.
Nonetheless, the unfortunate part in all this is that I had to execute the orders of my controller.Mrs Singh, I have chosen to go into this detail to tell you that it all happened in the line of duty and it was not governed by the concept that everything is fair in love and war, the way it has been portrayed by the Indian media due to lack of information. I did not play foul and went by the rules of business but the unfortunate loss of precious lives, no matter how it happens, hurts each human and I am no exception. I feel sorry for you, your family and the other seven families who lost their dearest ones. I feel greatly grieved that you lost your brother Noshir recently.
