Right on mg.
Any death is a tragedy, but friendly fire is something that happens. And us Cockneys often deal with death in a lighthearted way such as this.
Perhaps my reference to our illustrious President was just a case of wishful thinking.
Also, Americans are noted for being trigger happy. I knew this guy (a Brit) who fought in Italy in WWII. He told me that if the Jerries came over nobody cared too much, but if the Yanks came over everybody took cover immediately.
