I'm guessing the apparent lack of ensuring the safety of its members is a reason for such a high rate of US military training deaths?!?

Like I said in the Post, the Lt (and that new computer) was off by 5 kilometers. THis was back in 1981 and the FX was to teach us old soldiers about the latest advance in calling in fire.
As for the training accidents, the us military does seem to have a lot of them. And most of them are sheer stupid human error.
