#2 In the old days they used to spend months and years being trained in Al Qaeda's Afghanistan camps. Now they get a few weeks near the border following graduation from the madrassah, are handed pre-loaded weapons, and sent across. Except for the Palestinians, of course, who have the advantage of summer training camps throughout their school lives, but they are otherwise occupied these days.

#3 The Talewhackers are bringing minor leaguers from their Class A farm teams and the Rookie Leagues. It's pretty obvious when the Afghan army kill ratio is 4-5:1.

Must be depressing knowing your best and brightest are not one with the topsoil in Afghanistan and Iraq.

#5 The good guyz have discovered that if you make it a habit of undercounting the enemy killed, that the enemy make all sorts of subsequent boo-boos.

They assume their strength is greater than it is. They also assume that some of their people are MIA/POW, wounded-non-recovered, AWOL, etc. This can lead to lots of headaches for them.

#6 Usually, that's is not the case with a western army, Anonymoose, but we're talking about Muslim warriors here, who already think they're Allah's Supermen.
