This is not the kind of thing you want shooting haphazard missiles.... named "Hellfire"

In what appeared to be the first case of U.S. troops being hit by “friendly fire” from a drone aircraft, two U.S. Soldiers were killed by a “Hellfire” missile after apparently being mistaken for insurgents moving to attack another group of Marines in southern Afghanistan.

A Predator drone fired the missile that killed a Marine and a Navy medic in Helmand province last week, according to two Pentagon officials.

With a story like this, you have to ask yourself and wonder why our U.S. Military is creating weapons with the name “Hellfire”
