Airstrike Kills 9 Afghan Troops

Yet another article about a shooting of Afghan soldiers by a US-led coalition, it sends a message to the rest of the world about the current members of the army in the States. The story doesn't seek to explain in detail about how this incident occurred, but rather to illustrate a problem that seems to pass most of us by. It states that this shooting was a case of mistaken identity on both sides, which might lead us to believe that is just another biased article trying to cover up the mistakes that the US soldiers seem to make continuously, without fail. As we read on, it gives us a few more examples of similar situations that have occurred in the recent past. Examples such as one when more than 90 Afghan civilians in a suspected Taliban compound were killed, and how the soldiers involved tried to argue that the death toll was within 5 to 7 people. Since this example given in the text doesn't appear to be trying to conceal any of the soldiers' wrongdoings, we can assume that the article is most likely not influenced by personal bias. So as to not seem like all the blame is being put on the US side, the story also includes an incident when the fault wasn't solely the American soldiers'. Either way, the article brings out an important factor in solving conflict, which is to avoid any misunderstanding between the two sides.
