It's hard to scream "Allan snackbar" and shoot at the same time.

#8 Why are Arabs such lousey shots?

It's hard to aim when you're firing over an obstacle such that your arms are exposed but not your head. With the exception of a tiny cadre of suicide bombers who are wasted in suicide attacks, Islamist warriors have a very well-developed sense of self-preservation. This is why the Taliban has inflicted fewer casualties on US troops in the course of 12 years than Communist Vietnamese troops inflicted in a single year. Taliban losses have been similarly been light compared to Communist Vietnamese losses of 100K per year. Bottom line is that the Taliban are way overrated.

#9 When the Special Forces went into Afghanistan during the start of US/Taliban festivities the Afghan allies never aimed. One SF soldier asked why they didn't aim. One Afghan said, "It is against Islam to kill another Muslim so we fire our weapons without aiming. If an enemy gets hit by a bullet it must be the will of Allah."
