‘FRIENDLY FIRE’ – WOULD AN APOLOGY REALLY BE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?

Is there some diplomatic or cultural reason why the US military or government has not deemed it suitable to at least offer an apology for killing two of our soilders on Sunday?

According to this report in the Daily Telegraph Major-Gen Daniel Leaf, spokesman for the US air force in Kuwait, blamed the “fog of war” for the accident, but offered no apology.

Why not? I would have thought that is the least a friend could do.
