    Never knew it was called Fratricide until I started looking. It appears that America's record is getting much worse. 77% of damaged armoured vehicles in Desert Storm were due to friendly fire. About 2% of casualties in World War II were due to fratricide but a massive 17.4% in Desert Storm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1992/KAC.htm
