Anyway back on topic. I heard on, you guessed it, fox news last night that there was a big upheaval in Iraq and that a "general" (don't know his nationality) had joined the muslims in their fight. This was pretty vague, so has anybody heard of this?
incorrect. The Saddam regime was one of the most "stable" in the entire middle East. And guess what, this was only because Saddam and his sons ruled the country in the good old Pinochet style (or Pol Pot). The amount of mass-graves are probably the best indictator of the brutality of the system. And it worked so smoothly for such a long time.I beg to differ. Ruling with an iron fist does not realistically help control order, as you only make the Iraqis more willing to resist.No!Have they never heared of using teargas in such situations or other non lethal tools? ***
In times of war you have to make clear that you are strict on imposing rules and order. Otherwise there is no way to succeed in the long-term. To a certain extent I believe shooting into the crowd can indeed be the right solution! (sounds barbaric I know, but lets be realistic)
Iraqis are not used to resist..they never had the liberty. The only problem that they have right now is liberty itself.

See! Bloody REMF's never keep their weapons clean!
I mean sorry but this convoi had GPS and such. I mean they drove directly up towards iraqi lines with sand in their face AND in their guns ! Hell ! If anyone of my men should ever, I really mean EVER have his gun in a state like these guys and girls had theirs I would kick his ass to the moon and stick his thumby into his mouthy. Damn they are soldiers and no Kindergarten. Is it really that worse ?

Army maintenance battalions have the best mechanics and logitics clerks that the US Army can field, but God help them if they get into a situation that requires fighting.
A soldier is a soldier and no matter if he repairs tanks or knits underwear he has to know his gun and his job. Aren´t it the americans who always say they have a job to do ?
They are soldiers. They have run directly into saddams troops. Not by fault but by lack of basic military knowledge with sand in their guns.
Hey what is this going to be ?
"In 20 days around the world"
One of the major rules for soldiers is that they always have to be able to defend themselves and their comrades. It´s rule number one to be able to save his own life with instruments given to a soldier.
Sand is like cancer for weapons and everybody who knows his job will it keep clean and dry like a fart. Not once a day, but 20 - 30 times. If he fails to maintain a gun the correct way he fails in his job as a soldier.
Well, obviously their CO and senior NCOs had their heads up their asses. Otherwise their weapons would have been clean and they wouldn't have even needed them.
Well I agree but it´s not the missing control of gun maintenance. It´s the fact that a soldier driving around in a hostile country should really need no order to clean his gun and keep it in a working state. It´s incredibly stupid not to do it on your own.
Go figure, huh? I guess this is the part where I say 'read my sig'.
