Friendly fire casualties are due to the Rules of Engagement used by the US, UK and god knows how many other countries.

If a target is believed to be a threat then the military personel in question have the right to fire at the afore mentioned target. This is due to modern warfare being a one shot one kill kind of affair and as such getting the first shot in is the most important thing to a soldier - because if you don't and someone else does... you're going home in a box.

I'm not supporting this scenario - but I understand it. Because if it was not this way... soldiers would still fire if they felt threatened... it's human nature. In fact it's true of all creatures in nature - it's the Fight or Flight response, and if you're holding a machine gun... flight isn't the first idea that springs to mind.
