All American pilots are full of drugs when flying combat missions so it is no surprise that they are massacring their allies.

In the first gulf war more British troops were killed by Americans than the Iraqis killed

Well if we are talking about the recent trouble in Iran, I think the number of actual kills by bombing some British soldiers by accident was 5. However, that number might be a little high. If you are talking about why England sent soldiers over to Iraq and blaming it on America, I think you just have to look at the guys that tried to bomb your buses and underground. If you really want to go back however, then start talking in German because without America you would be dead or a German subject. America has always helped the British in any war since WW1 including the Falkins, we didn't send troops, but we gave you lots and lots of intelligence such as when planes took off from Argentina, where the Argentina navy was and stuff like that.

Your question was poorly phrased. A better wording of the question would have been: "How many British soldiers have been killed because the British Army consistently gives American pilots bad information regarding the locations of their troops?"

actually documented Brittish soldiers during this war-2. However, that is also reciprocated. Friendly fire goes both ways. I doubt the brittish meant to kill any of our guys, just the same as our guys did not intend on killing the Brits. Its war people, get over it! We didn't force the Brits into it they came on their own, knowing the consequences.

It's not intentional. If you were to hear the audio of the American pilots - you can hear how upset they were. They can't help they were given faulty info. Don't know whose fault the info was - they were told there were no Allied troops in the area.

I don't know. What percentage of their own soldiers have the British killed? Here's three...
"The BBC's Nick Witchell, at coalition military headquartes in Qatar, said their vehicle was hit by a shell from another British tank that either missed its intended target or rebounded off it."

UK soldiers killed by 'friendly fire'
A 'friendly fire' incident has claimed the lives of two UK soldiers during fierce fighting outside the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
The pair, serving with the Queen's Royal Lancers, were killed when their Challenger II tank came under fire early on Tuesday morning. Two others were seriously injured.
The BBC's Nick Witchell, at coalition military headquartes in Qatar, said their vehicle was hit by a shell from another British tank that either missed its intended target or rebounded off it.
The two men were named by the Ministry of Defence as Corporal Stephen John Allbutt, 35, from Stoke-on-Trent, and Trooper David Jeffrey Clarke, 19, from Littleworth, Stafford.
Although the tanks are fitted with identification systems, Witchell said for the moment a technology failure was not being blamed and the deaths were being viewed as "one of the realities of war".
The families of those killed and injured have been informed.
Here's another....

To many, the last Gulf War the USA killed 9 and that was the most we lost in any single proportion. As Bush doesent like the term 'suicide bomber' and prefers 'homicide bomber', how sick is the terms 'friendly fire' and 'collateral damage'?
