It's Bad Enough That The OTHER Side's Shooting At You
-
One of the biggest misnomers in the English language is "friendly fire." "Friendly" is not applicable other than that you're being shot by your own side. In Afghanistan, five Special Ops members and an Afghan soldier were killed by their own side when a plane accidentally hit them with an air strike. This is one of over a dozen such cases since the war in Afghanistan began. Like war isn't hell enough. (New York Times)
