[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1230503, member: 18945"] Hard to tell much by that one sentence. "Behind the front lines" does sound as if they were taking up a position that was previously seen as secure, and they had been there before since it said "return to". I might understand the friendly fire aspect if they had been further out front and then moved back (toward friendly lines) and re-assumed their position at the OP, but it doesn't say one way or another other than it was behind the lines. Hard to say about the Kurdish forces too--they're trying to kill 2 birds with one stone--kill ISIS and take and hold new territory from Iraq for themselves. May have been doing something they didn't want the Canadian observers to know about, The comments are pretty typical of what is seen from the US too--right vs left. Sorry for the loss of your countryman and the wounded. (edit--a different news source expounded a little on Canadian Def Minister's comment--something not mentioned in the cbc.ca article.)
