fallen angel

Doyle lets his men undertake a lengthy and vicious retaliation against the shooters, even though they are somewhat hidden. He even approves the use of white phosphorus, known as Willy Peter, to ensure that the enemy has been sufficiently cleared. However, about 15 seconds after the white phosphorous attack, Doyle screams for a cease - fire. Sure enough, the mystery attackers are not the enemy at all - they are the members of the first platoon. The fourth platoon of Charlie Company has mowed down their own men.
