I am not convinced it’s better to know it was friendly fire, unless there was fragging involved.
It would be my take that his friend was trying to spare the family the anguish of learning it was a needless death.

My sympathy goes out to the family. It was such a shame to lose a guy that gave up a pro football contract, to serve his nation by choice. I admire the guy.
Two Brits were lost this week because of friendly fire in Afghanistan. One is a woman medic.
Very sorry to hear that. I would be devastated to think I had just taken out two of my own. And if it was the Brits, I would think of them as our own. You’d think in this day and age that an electronic device worn by our combatants would prevent this sort of thing.
