Fratricide Incident

[Perknose]

Five American soldiers killed in Afghanistan by what we euphemistically call "friendly fire."

I hear the non-American influence in this part of the official coalition statement:

The coalition offered a brief statement and said it was investigating the incident. “The casualties occurred during a security operation when their unit came into contact with enemy forces,” the statement said. “Tragically, there is the possibility that fratricide may have been involved.”

Blue on blue happens regretfully.

They called in support and the position was mis-judged
