It is not pathetic. It is a fact of war. It can be minimized but never eliminated. Your use of the word is nothing less than a slander against our military. that fact that we lose most of our soldiers from friendly fire is pathetic....

Not pathetic. It is unavoidable that accidents will happen and people will die in a war. The fact is the low level of the losses in the Gulf War, Kosovo and now in Afghanistan exceeds all reasonable expectations. You are just another demolib whiner who needs to shut his stupid yap. JLA

Chris: Acording to a Vietnam vet friend of mine who operated artillery, American loss due to friendly fire happened a lot more often than was publicized. I guess we should ask Tom why military technology hasn't advanced to pinpoint accuracy in firing these weapons. I too am very saddened we have killed our own brave, honorable and patriotic soldiers, or as some folks who depersonalize these tragedies call it: "collateral damage".

The fact that you criticize and whine about our efforts to eliminate terrorism is pathetic. If you are against us in this campaign say something intelligent at least.

Not as pathetic as your repeated use of 3 American deaths as a political platform. I'll wager those bombs have a higher strike ratio than you have hitting the toilet... Of course that assumes you have been toilet trained - doubtful considering the sort of parenting required to produce a left winger like yourself.
