It did seem to me that they were smart alecks who were wanting to cut loose from the boring control from HQ and show off how hot they are. When one is supercool, being on the end of a leash must not be as pleasant as being free as a bird. Also, being at the sharp end, with delays in approval to defend oneself, could be quite annoying. Another time, some Kiwi SAS troops in Kuwait were killed by similar 'friendly fire'. They seem to have a lot of accidents for being so supercool. But you shouldn't expect other than a wet bus ticket tap on the wrist - these are team members and almost anything can be forgiven. Heck, even Lt William Caley didn't get a Nuremberg-style "Crimes Against Humanity" war crimes trial and execution by hanging by the neck until dead. At least the Nazis killed Jews and other undesirables in an orderly fashion, writing down their names and keeping good records. I suppose he was using terrorism [or the military euphemism] to stop attacks on US soldiers, showing what would happen to any village which offered any resistance, or appearance of it, or maybe even merely suspicion of it. I think Caley was confined to barracks for a while. Mqurice
