| #4 Interesting the tricks that weren't mentioned. I remember how the Marines set up a bogus *defensive* position (in that "industrial area"), that looked like a real easy, undermanned target. So the bad boyz sent in two or more squads to wipe them out, and waltzed into a hairy killzone. Then the good guys would send in the mop-and-bucket brigade to clean up the mess and set the trap anew. They must have done a few battalions of Muj's before they wised up to that little trick. It was a superb trap: convince the enemy to leave their safe haven surrounded by civilians, enter an unpopulated industrial area and concentrate in a killzone. I'm convinced that this is a military *philosophy* for this war. |

| #3 Fu@%in' A! I loved that siege, Marines pounding the shit out of a bunch of cracked out Jihadi last chance boys. The lesson here is don't mess with our friends at Blackwater, we will get pissed and destroy you. I'd love to see Al Sadr's head on a stick, may of us have not forgotten him. I'm just waiting for this mini-mad mullah's Mein Kampf to come out. Politics my ass. No trial for this asshole, just let one of the AC-130's pay his little ghetto fortress a visit or send the Marines in again to retrieve his sorry ass in pieces. EP |

| #1 Excellent! I remember the AT-4 from my infantry days. It is butt-hair accurate, especially for an unguided missle. Whatever you have the "crosshairs" on when the trigger is pulled, is hit. Even at 400 meters, which is close to its maximum range. |
