OTOH, the advances in military tech pretty much ensure that, when
we mistakenly shoot at a friendly, we bloody well hit a friendly.This reminds me of an incident a few years back in Seattle, where two cops mistook each other for a goblin and fired several dozen rounds, neither hitting the other.
If I were the Chief of Police, I’d be pissed. That is simply not an acceptable display of marksmanship.
