I remember a case in Iraq where a UK vehicle taped their flag to the roof to avoid American air strikes. They were still targeted however.
One night in October 2006 a British patrol, festooned with the blue light sticks, agreed on as a sign to identify themselves as friendly, reported they had been shot at by US troops who had no night vision goggles and had been listening to their iPods.

Know why the US has killed a few of its allies in Afghanistan?
Because there's the NATO campaign, and a separate US campaign. The American-only force are the same retards who carried out air strikes on Canadian troops. It's probably the same retards who shot the UK soldier as well.

Retards, huh? And care to share with us your vast military experience that you based this comment on?

No, I don't really feel like sharing my vast military experiences with strangers on the internet, especially those with the word "jerico" in their name (Could be a Mossad sympathizer, afterall .)

However common sense dictates that it is kind've ridiculous for two separate missions to be conducted in Afghanistan. There is no direct communication between NATO troops and separate American forces (usually in the form of aircraft, special forces, or armored cav) because the American insist on having their own separate contingent to carry out shady operations.

Since they so kindly coerced us to fight for them in Afghanistan, the least they could do is fight alongside us, and not from the sidelines which leads to them sometimes hitting us.

Efficiency? Please....the US is currently rewriting the book on modern warfare. It's experience and efficiency cannot seriously be questioned.

Fighting from the sidelines? Sorry, US forces are leading the way. People here scream, "trigger happy Americans" because our forces are trained to be aggressive.

You killed a woman hostage you were trying to free with a hand grenade.
Arrogant morons.

If American soldiers were up to date on the reality of the situation, they would at least be negotiating with the Taliban instead of attacking them blindly.
