If you count them all, tell me how many friendly fires is britain guilty of in history??? you don't know because they weren't counted.

Not a lot because even now the US are adopting British Small unit tactics which reduce the number of blue on blue incidents. For example correct positioning of support fire teams, Unit fire control, decent FAC. and a lot of other improvements.

The UK forces may only be small but we are a lot better than most countries, aftr all when you care enough to send the very best.

that sounds very theoretical, an not at all like cold hard numbers.

First off its not friendly fire, live rounds travelling in excess of 900m/s from aircraft machine guns, or small arms (A-10 cannon = 990m/s M16 and L86 = 940m/s) arent friendly when they meet human flesh.

Lets play shall we, lets just do from mmmm the start of the first party in the desert

Number of US troops killed or injured by British Munitions havent managed as yet to find any declared incidents.

Number of UK troops killed or injured by US Fired Munitions, wow this may take a while google has pages and pages of incidents. well bugger me sideways with a banjo fancy that.

Since you are being deliberately provocating in continuing to use that same incorrect terminology - it's 'fire' not 'fires'.

Until we started pallying up with you it wasnt a factor ever considered. therefore we can only assume it was almost negligible

And as I said its not called friendly fire in the UK forces.
