This happens in every war. This war is no different, nor will the next one be. Does anyone really think there is a conspiracy by the Americans to slowly eliminate their allies? Does anyone think that mistakes don't happen, or that equipment never fails? Or that signals never get crossed, or situations never change, or that split-second decisions don't always end up like you would like?

Coalition troops are very well trained, and precautions are in place to help reduce the numbers of incidents, and yet even they realize...shit happens.

This is a war, not an ice cream social. Our guys in theatre are getting fired upon from all sides. (including from those at home, that claim to have been in the service, yet slam the military every chance they get. I'm sure you were real popular in your unit.)

Moronic.

Moronic is calling names over the net.

The MAJORITY of friendly fire incidents involve US troops firing on thier allies , it does happen with others but it seems more likely to happen when US troops or airforce are around.
