I'm not debating anything here, but I have a question for anyone up on their history. What are the general numbers for "friendly fire" incidents in places where you have a difficult time telling the combatants from ordinary civilians, as compared to fighting where you are facing a recognizable, uniformed military? For example, the German or Japanese armies in WW2 as opposed to Vietnamese peasants and people in Afghanistan who for some baffling reason think it's important to hold onto their weding celebration traditions when there are warplanes overhead.
