No doubt our man'o'metal believes that unless you're an "American", you are the enemy...

Regarding the incident itself, it isn't the first case of friendly fire and it won't be the last, its just another ugly biproduct of something even uglier, war.

Of course his death was in vain, as are all the casualties in this damned war, if he wasn't there in the first place he would still be alive. Pretty simple concept, well to everybody outside the US it is...

Nothing has changed in American policy in over 50 years, what makes you think it will change in the future? My late grandfather (who served in New Guinea during WWII) could attest to this as he had a saying;

"Never stand in front of a yank with a machine gun..."

I think that sums it up nicely.
