Had a buddy who flew Apaches in Iraq. He just got back home! They never fired a shot while deployed! He said that it seemed that the friendly Iraqi help was running interference. Everytime a situation heated up, there were "allies" in the way! Said he felt like they were flying news helicopters in Gangland USA!
Wow, ten minutes with a positive ID of the bad guys, how do the troops get any work down? These precautions must be tough for professionals to deal with. Honestly I don't see the point of the U.S. ever going to war again especially with the advent of mass communication, the Military will always be hamstringed before they get a chance to fight. If people could only see this is not a children's t-ball game, it's not suppose to end in a tie, big kid gloves only. Maybe the next war Americans will have a quota on how many must die per enemy, that should keep it fair. I guess, All is NOT fair in love and war.

Raz,
Are we sure Robert S. McNamara is not calling the shots here?
