The following are the best extimates on friendly fire casualties based on historic War Dept, Dept of the Navy and Dept of Defense casualty reports detailing various battle reports.
At best, these are conservative figures. Which is to say, these figures represent the minimal prcentages of FF casualties on record so far. As additional friendly fire incidents are discovered these figures will increase, not decrease. Based on these numbers we must conclude that US forces are among the poorest trained in the world. They shoot first and then determine who they kill:
% of Americans Killed by Americans
World War II = 21%
Korea = 18%
Vietnam = 39%
Persian Gulf = 52%
These figures do not include murders or deliberate/accidental self-inflicted wounds/fatalities
