Apparently that "not killing fellow muslims" includes an injunction to the military to spew ammunition in all directions, and pray you DON'T hit anything. That's also why when they attack ISAF bases, they get totally waxed - no fire discipline, no accuracy, just screaming and yelling, hoping to frighten off the "foreign devils". It's a disaster when the "foreign devils" fire back, because they have no such low expectations.
During WWII, "experts" stated that it took 1000 bullets being fired to kill one soldier. If they had been Arab armies, it would have probably taken 1,000,000 bullets to kill one soldier. Either estimate is a waste of good ammunition. That's why I like napalm - if you don't kill, maim, or mangle your enemies, you at least take away his treasure and give him a darned good scare - with little waste. |
