Okay first off I'm american...though this would honestly probably be my attitude no matter the case.
Firstly, they should be definitly reprimanded in some way. IN fact I'm suprised they did get off as Military justice has an almost 95% (I think that is right) sentincing rate...as in almost 95 percent get charged. Thing is though I agree that they shoudln't go to jail or anything. Friendly fire is something that happens and I don't think it matters whether canadians or americans or anyone is involved...yes its a tragedy but yes I also think its something you have to live with your whole life. If any of you know any old relatives who were ever in a war...ask them about it. I know one of my dads older friends was in Vietnam and he never wants to talk abou it. Killing is something people who are not deranged live with all their life (and usually with remorse). Besides...have you seen the listing of American Casualties...so many of them have been friendly fire and or accidental deaths!
