It seems to me that the US fighter pilots are just a tiny little bit too eager to drop bombs and kill things. If they excercised a little more restraint, this type of thing would *not* be responsible for the majority of coalition casualties.
Maybe it's that most of the armed forces are so young, and by now half of the pilots are children of the videogame generation. The distance and lack of human contact between then and the things they are bombing makes them forget exactly what horrors they are unleashing, and that bombs are not smart enough to differentiate between the different sides in the conflict.
Maybe someone should gently remind the forces that that is their job.
Still, on the other hand, given the truly amazing amount of military weaponry that has been emplyed over the past fortnight, maybe the casualties truly are simply representative of the chaos of war, which is forgiveable, and not incompetence, which is not.
