Wolfgang: Well, yeah, it's bad enough when we kill our own soldiers by mistake. But when we do something stupid that gets the soldiers of our allies killed, that is IMO a different kettle of fish.

I'm afraid that, for too long, the US mindset has been that because this sort of thing is inevitable we have no business being outraged by it. I think it's high time that attitude changed, so that steps are taken to bring those percentages down. As horrible as this incident is, I hope that it will be a catalyst for some much-needed reform.
