      Friendly fire is an accepted risk in warfare, but when was the last time a US soldier was killed by an Allies friendly fire?

          We can't help it if our guns shoot more accurately than our allies. We are just good shots . Or horribly bad shots as the case may be . You would think all these first person shooters woudl improve our aiming.

            Well, at least we know the missiles work this time.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              LOL, this reminds me of the Russian dog mines which were trained to run under tanks and leave mines which were designed to blow up German tanks...alas these dogs were better than the Russians anticipated, and they could discern and target Russian tanks effectively and left the Germans well alone

                casualties starting to build up now but it certainly doesn't help when something like this happens

                          easy to talk about sacrifices which you do not have to give.

                            War hasn't improved much in this area since WW2 normandy invasion it seems.
                            Rather, its just that other areas have improved far more dramatically and that this just stands out due to so few casualties sustained by allied forces in general.
                            How many tens of thousands of allied deaths during WW2 were due to FF? A much smaller % certainly, but overall this has improved greatly over what once was...

                              Despite the terrible nature of such tragedies so far in this war, I still think it's good that there are more FF indicents than servicepeople being killed by enemy fire.
                              To us, it is the BEAST.
