What a horribly tragic story. I don't know about much about military justice, but I think you might be misinterpreting "misadventure." I think the term applies to what the pilot did, and is an explanation of how the "friendly fire" occurred: the pilot wasn't where he was supposed to be.

That I disagree with. The troops were not at the coordinates they were supposed to be at according to what Marvin’s dad told me. The area should not have had friendly there. Every plane with live ordinance left over from a mission MUST drop it before landing because a crash landing is bad enough without bombs and rockets killing off the ship’s crew.
