That's why they are INVESTIGATING it, instead of debating it over the internet with information gathered from sources who also WEREN'T THERE.

Assumptions we can safely make:

* American soldiers involved didn't know it was a friendly.

* Canadians didn't see the warning signal. (Honestly, why would they lie about that)

In war, and in peace, there are mistakes and misunderstandings. I'm sure we can all agree that was all this was. People like Pyro need to stop taking things like this personally, and honestly some of you Americans need to stop acting so self-righteous about stuff that goes on 'over there.'

I agree whole heartedly with everything that you've said. I'll be the first to admit that this country is chock full of flaming assholes with a portion of those assholes serving in the military. Keep in mind though, that they're our assholes and when people throw out the bait, with anti-American comments, someone is going to bite. Many of us have friends or relatives who are either in Iraq or who have been there. I can't say that there are too many happy to have had the experience.
