No trigger happiness? Really? A Bulgarian soldier, just recently.
And what about this case?
Sorry, but there are so many examples.
And here too!

We have a good word in french for those "friendly fires": des BAVURES. (not translatable) Amazing how the same thing gets a nice meaning with "friendly" while in french it is completely derogatory (the verb baver means to slobber). I wonder if that's not the reason why american conservatives dismiss its seriousness.

Understandable: not enough experienced soldiers, scared to death, loaded with the most sophisticated weapons, covered by their superiors, no risk of being prosecuted by the ICC (thus feeling of impunity).

All this in a country that wasn't involved in 9/11, didn't have WMDs. A country that had an international resolution that put an end to the first war but the US attacked it again, 12 years later, without any international mandate.
