A “non-hostile incident” ? I’m sorry, I do not know this term of art. For what kinds of things is it the customary euphemism?
It means things like when a soldier frags his fellow comrades(like happened towards the beginning of the war in Kuwait .. IIRC). It usually happens when a solider cracks under the strain.
