Why aren’t they using blankets if it’s friendly fire?
<|assistant|>
Friendly fire incidents are still traumatic, even if those injured are friends rather than enemies. Because of this, many units prefer to limit the use of blankets to actual enemy fire incidents, as to avoid creating a desensitized view of the violence of war. It is seen as more appropriate, as well as a sign of respect, to use a blanket in the case of an actual hostile encounter rather than when it is friendly fire.
