I am with you all the way in worrying about what is going on with friendly-fire casualties. I pay more attention these days to which one of our guys shot one of our friends than I do any other news topic! It is on my mind, as much as it is on the minds of my work collegues. I was hoping we were better than this.

For the most part, it seems to be faulty equipment or lack of proper communication that is the key. Well...fix the dang stuff, will ya! We brag a great deal about having all this high-tech equipment,,,but I just read an article that said many soldiers from the first Gulf War complained that they knew thier chem/bio suits were faulty, and now we are saying that faulty mechanics are killing more of our friends. Maybe the problem is that Microsoft helped develop our computers! That would certainly explain alot, wouldn't it?
