If the British soldiers had shot a Yank, you can bet the U.S would be waging some kinda war against us.

But because they were the ones doing the killing, it's all swept under the carpet and 'no-one' is to blame ...

As the old WW2 adage says...

"You are safer with a division of Germans in front of you than a platoon of Americans behind you."


Fratricide has always been an aspect of warfare but US military forces must surely top the league.

Simple answer:

Don't agree. And if I put a bet on that scenario, I would expect to lose. Come back when you can talk sense

As an ex soldier I can tell you that there is no such thing as "friendly fire", there is nothing "friendly" about a bullet or shell heading in your direction at twice the speed of sound, nothing "friendly" at all
