It's unfair to make fun of the USA for friendly fire incidents, all countries have them; it's just that the USA tends to be involved in more high-publicity conflicts than anyone else, so it's noticed more.

Pretty Off Topic, but I bet there were frendly fire incidents in the many smaller conflicts Britain was involved in since WWII: Aden, Oman Malaysia, Borneo, Northern Ireland, Falklands etc.

To be honest we have never been told of any during our training.

Thats not to say there wasn't any, but we haven't been told of them if there was.
