These things do happen in war time. However, the US reaction should be the standard in these events. They admitted it happened and conducted a rather vigorous and open investigation. If you accidently kill a bunch of civilians you can't try to cover it up or play ignorance.

Unfortunately - they can. They obviously shouldn't, but they can, have done before and will do so again.

They deflected the blame and gave the man in charge a medal.

They definitely did everything they could to bury the story and blame Iran.
