What the hell is it with US troops?
This time, they've dropped a bomb on Canadian troops. Bad enough under normal combat circumstances, but this apparently happened (according to a report on the radio just two minutes ago) in an area where there was NO fighting at the time of the incident.
Every "friendly fire" incident seems to consist of the Americans attacking their allies. They killed more allied troops (mostly British) in the Gulf War, and there have been numerous incidents so far in Afghanistan.
In the Gulf it was our troops putting their lives on the line with low-level bombing flights, while the US dropped their fancy laser-guided munitions onto the wrong targets from a safe height.
Earlier this week, I read a story where a troop of just FIVE British commandos rescued 150 US marines who were pinned down in the mountains by al-Quaeda fighters.
How they can be under the even the vaguest impression that their armed forces are anywhere near the best in the world is beyond me. They're a liability, and whenever our troops are sent to fight alongside them, I can almost hear the collective sigh of "Oh s**t, we're dead men."
It's about time they were held accountable for their incompetence. "Shoot first, apologise later" doesn't cut it any more.

i talk to alot of people in america and they do seem miss informed about events in afganistan.
I have heard from various people in usa that-
the afgans attacked us so we are attacking them back
the taliban bombed us
also, when those british troops care under fire they gave chase and caught 7 gunmen with no injuries sustained. When some american troops came under fire 2 days later around the same area they called in an A-10 Gunship which managed to "kill some terrorists".

I thought I'd check this out.
bbc site: not a headline, just news under the americas section down the list.
cnn: american website edition- not the top story, 3rd place in other top storys list
conflicting storys from the brief read throughs I had....
bbc= the pilot was given permision to fire back in self defence
cnn= the pilot was not given pernision to fire the laser guded missile
it might just be that I read them wrongly, or lack of sleep, but you'd think they would all have the information the same for the news stories.

the media in america probably try to keep this sort of thing out of the public eye. they are way too arrogant thinking that americas the best country in the world. and they have a pretty bad human rights rate.
