Friendly Fire, unfortunate reality- how does it make you feel?
In war, death is a reality and one that any servicemen would have to come to terms with. However, what a terrible thought it is to think that you could be killed by one of your own? Following 30 coalition deaths from "friendly fire" in Iraq, which is more than what has been inflicted by the enemy, I was wondering how those serving in the coalition forces feel about this? Whether this makes you feel aprehensive, perhaps angry or maybe you might feel it is just another inescapable reality of war. It is just that I, a relative of a servicemen, couldn't stand to think that my loved one could be killed by "accident" and though I do not want to be morbid- I am deeply interested to know your concerns. My heart and sincere empathy goes out to all those who have lost their loved ones in this way- I pray that they may look to that which is eternal in this time for hope.
