Sapper and Herb both make good points. Friendly fire is a fact of life whether it is in a battle area or civilian life. My first experience was while waiting outside the church in Bancroft for choir practice. We were throwing stones in the creek and one of the female members bounced a big boulder off my head. (explains a lot doesn't it). I know this is a silly analogy but "shit happens". The Americans didn't do it on purpose now as they didn't in WW2. My uncle was killed in WW2 because of the mistake of another RCAF sergeant pilot. We should mourn the loss of one of our soldiers but not attach blame to anyone other than the enemy. Without the enemy we wouldn't be there.
We have met the enemy and he is us.
