Default Airplane shot down in Colombia

Americans tend to have a conciliatory tone toward drug smugglers, who they
consider to be involved in peddling of "social vices" and thus not really
bad guys. This is very removed from the truth. The FARC bandits are mafia
hardliners who control half of Colombia. Shooting them down is socially
constructive, and easily the right thing to do. It's like that.

Aside the socio-political context, I agree it's hard for any pilot to see a
plane shot down . . .
