Is that when your friends shot at you instead of the enemy. I served in V.Nam 65-66 with 1st Cav,C Co 2/8. We were never sure were the enemy was, they were usualy above us below us around us. When we opened up we hoped we were shooting at the enemy. Now when we called in air strikes, which was supposed to keep the enemy at bay,I can tell you those bombs and 20 caliber bullets that came down sure got all full close some times, close enough that ricocheys set our amo belts off from hitting the magazines in the amo belts. I had to cut one guys gear off it was so bad. I cussed and moaned but we walked out of there no casualties. Friendly fire is an annomaly, like being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It can not be stopped. Fate has alot to do with it too. My heart goes out to the familys that have lost loved ones this way. But you also have to look at it realisticly it does happen. There is so much hype on this now because a football player I never heard of was killed by FRIENDLY FIRE. If you really want to stop this then stop the wars and lets have a good time by all.
