WASHINGTON, April 18 - Four Canadian soldiers who were participating in a night training exercise in Afghanistan were killed Thursday when a U.S. fighter pilot, mistakenly believing he was under attack, dropped at least one 500-pound laser-guided bomb, U.S. military officials told NBC News. Eight other Canadian soldiers were injured, Canadian officials said.
The situation in Afghanistan has been overlooked as of late. The troops that are there are still in harm's way; our thoughts and prayers need to be with them.
Friendly Fire is a horrible occurrence that strikes every soldier over there down to the core oh his/her heart. Believe me.
