Depends who your 'allies' are.......

If they're trigger-happy enough to shoot up friendly Warriors, bomb friendly Canadian forces without bothering with the rules of engagement or obtaining clearance, bomb friendly Kurdish forces, shoot down Iranian Airbuses, are unable to recognise Blackhawk helicopters.....or Chinooks, then yes, it is likely that if the Colonials with their gung-ho attitudes are involved then it's highly probable that 'things like that will happen in war'.

Ident before shoot!

Excellent quotes about that group of heavy-handed dimwitted USMC troops from the Royal Marine colonel on the TV programme!
