Friendly fire happens in every war, but there seems to be more publicity surrounding it this time around.

In WWII, the Army Aircorps dropped bombs on Army troops and inflicted like a thousand casualties. Earlier they had destroyed the Panzer Lehr Division with a similar tactic, and this may have given the planners hubris.

I feel sorry for the guys that were killed, but I also feel sorry for the guys who did the shooting. They will have to live with that guilt for the rest of their lives.

They better watch these soldiers to make sure they don't try to commit suicide.
