Soldiers are just civilians in uniforms...

...wearing flak jackets, driving heavily armored vehicles, and carrying
fully automatic assault rifles. Some of them even have the ability to
send 500 lb. bombs at terrorist targets.

Soldiers are aware of the job description when they sign up. Wouldn't you
rather have terrorists fighting well-armed US combatants halfway around
the world, rather than blowing up unarmed men, women, and children in your
own backyard?

Actually, the article is right. Threats are almost nonexistent. The
insurgents don't make threats. They just do the deeds.

As far as who is attacked where, I'm not picky. Soldiers can't defend
themselves against vehicles loaded with explosives unless they see them
coming, and apparently, they do NOT see them coming most of the time. And,
they don't have the armor they need, so in effect, they're often as
defenseless as if they were driving down route 95.
