It's a tragic accident. I don't see any reason to consider us trigger-happy or the like, though. I'm not in the military, so I obviusly can't be sure, but I'd guess that when you're being shot at you probably don't have very long to go and investigate every possibility. As I said, I don't know for sure, but if you're shot at and there's only one group visible, and they're shooting at something... it's not too hard of a mistake to make. People make smaller mistakes of that type a good deal, this one simply had a larger impact. I don't know anything about the tanks and can't remember much about the missiles, but wasn't the bombing of US marines caused by someone on the ground giving the wrong coordiantes for the drop? That doesn't seem too trigger-happy to me... correct me if I'm wrong on anything...
