What I was calling moronic was your statement " As far as I know British troops have not fired against thier allies."

Does not take long to check your 'facts'. (at least it didn't take me long to check your facts)
If not moronic, then how about shady, or at the very least, misleading?
Disingenuous was the word that first came to my mind, but moronic was quicker to type.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact we have the lions share of troops and weapons in-theatre. Wouldn't make sense that any of the other forces would have more FF incidents, now would it?

FF incidents also happen in police situations, too. Any comments as to that fact? Just a couple of references:
