"Some 24 percent of all U.S. combat deaths in the 1990-91 Gulf War — 35 out of 148 killed — were so-called 'blue-on-blue' incidents, primarily fast moving aircraft opening fire on allied troops or vehicles. Add friendly fire deaths among Gulf War allies, including nine British troops killed by U.S. forces, and the Gulf War percentages are even worse." 8-05
