35 years, DoD, 3 wars with a joint special operations task force, have felt the rounds hit from close air support, etc etc.

This is most likely a really bad airspace deconfliction problem.

But that's no surprise - we have DHS shooting down DOD drones on the border, or whatever stupidity that was. Now we have blue-on-green (friendly allied forces shooting down our forces).

I would strongly suspect we lacked proper manning in whatever the Kuwaiti Joint Operations Center is, or flat-out just went YOLO and didn't inform them. And now we get FAFO.

You can't run a war on dudebro acronyms.

It will get worse. We'll have some casualties from this before it is over. Even in highly trained units, operating in much more clear chains of command, it happens. Pat Tillman.
