RAAF F-51s ...strafed and destroyed a train carrying thousands of
American and South Korean soldiers who were mistaken for a North Korean convoy ...resulting (in) 700-1000 casualties.......the

Only as good as your command and control
I am sure over the years everyone (Aussies, yanks, poms, canuks, ruskis, Japs,the seven dwarfs, santas little helpers, the smurfs et al) has experienced or been guilty of a blue on blue incident, well maybe except the French who would have been busy surrendering or running away (tongue in cheek), could have picked a better example though... Anyhoo.....back to shooting up fishing boats!
