Another Friendly Fire Death?

Precision munitions!
Laser guided bombs!
Surgical strike capability!

Death ignores rank, uniform, and sides in a war. A bullet made in the United States can kill a brave Pat Tillman just as easily as a bullet made ... where does al-Qaeda get bullets?

The United States government does not issue statistics on how many 'coalition' people were killed by the coalition in Iraq or Afghanistan. Pat Tillman's death by friendly fire was covered up by the military.

The United KINGDOM is actively investigating a possible friendly fire death in Afghanistan.

Father of two Corporal Bryan Budd, 29, of the 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, was killed as he stormed a Taliban position single-handedly in Helmand, trying to protect seven of his colleagues from heavy fire.

"Twice he behaved with extraordinary gallantry but his single-handed action on the second occasion and his determination, though wounded, to push on against a superior enemy force stands out as a premeditated act of inspirational leadership and supreme valour."
Corporal Bryan Budd was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery prior to his death.

"Only the dead have seen the end of war." Plato
