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.

With a .50 caliber mounted on your roof.

No gun helps when a car blows up next to yours, professor.


Not too many cars can get close enough when a Mark-19 is unleashed on
'em.

You really do live on another planet, don't you? Not only that, but you
never quite got past the age of 12. Have you noticed the return of suicide
bombings in Iraq, or are all those reports fabricated?


They're blowing up Iraqi men, women, and children attending weddings.
However, there's been a 35% reduction in US casualties over the last 3
months than in the 3 month period prior to that.
