Like I said, the technology IS there. You'd think that if the US could spend a million bucks building a missile which can identify a camel's rear end as a tank, they'd be willing to spend more trying to preserve the lives of their men. Or maybe it's just that my government has only 3 million people(and a few 100k combat-ready soldiers) versus the US' 300 million population and(about 1 million?) soldiers, so their views on the preciousness of life are different. And I'm pretty certain that missile accidents could be avoided, if only the gunners would be more attentive and less jumpy.
