I've had friends die over there, others who havent have told me things that makes this type of action understandable.
A very good friend of mine told me that shortly after getting to iraq his patrol was assaulted by insurgents, he personally came under direct fire (ill spare the full details) but he ended up squaring off with his attacker and was first to fire a clean shot killing the insurgent. Turn out it was a 15 or 16 yr old kid.
I asked him if that screwed with him, his answer was nope the lil pissant oscar%@$%^$#@!##$ had just blown off some innocent ladies head!
War is Hell and to win it ya gotta bring Hell with ya
Ya know, a few years ago we used to refer to the "insurgent" as a slope, gook or a charlie , some things don't change.
The one constant is that we are in a place that the unwashed masses that live there don't want us in.
Now I understand that we know better than the the folks that live in Iraq, but guess what, we don't have the bellybutton to force the situation.
Watch the dollar guys, we cant support it through intimidation any longer.
