War is not a pleasant experience. Although tragic, it's not even close to the first type of incedent like that. In fact during Vietnam "fragging" officers (tossing grenades into their tents) was a common practice. Hopefully this is a single isolated incedent.

No one said that the war would be without loss of human life or without error. Hopefully in the long run the cost of action is less than the cost of no action.

I think that's a pretty good calculation.
