Oh dear another 'blue on blue'. Very sad.

The friendly-fire deaths in Helmand have reopened a schism between American and British troops over how to fight the Taleban in Afghanistan.

Although publicly British commanders insist the Americans are still a vital ally in the fight against insurgents, privately British soldiers expressed concern and anger at their "gung-ho" approach.

So, our American buddies, does the US military shoot first and ask questions later? There does seem to a lot of friendly fire' incidents from them. I havn't got any figures for UK forces doing a 'blue on blue', but there doesn't seem to be the same frequency from them.

Any thoughts?
