FRIENDLY FIRE

According to Shaky, there is uproar in the UK at the decision to send to lend the US some of our troops as "it puts them within rifle range of the Americans".

A quick google later and it turns out that in the first War in Iraq "it has emerged that friendly fire killed more British troops that the Iraqis did - of 16 British soldiers killed, nine were killed by Americans".

I hope their body armour is as thick on the back as the front.
