Michael Yon : The Eagle Went over the Mountain
2009-02-11
Greetings,

This information can save your life. The enemy already knows the tactics they are using, but likely not all NATO/ISAF forces are aware.

Any enemy that repeatedly attacks U.S. Marines deserves at least grudging respect. The Marines respect this enemy, and that's saying a lot. Too bad the Marines have to kill so many of these guys; many would probably make good police or soldiers if they were not in cahoots with the enemy.

Very Respectfully,

Michael Yon

#2  No it didn't ET, BomberCommand was a flat flop, German industrial output peaked in 1944 right before the Rhine was crossed.

#1  when tactical weapons fail, use strategic weapons. that worked in Vietnam until the anti-napalm rants began. in the combat zone, wherever there are roads there are IEDs. Grunts said that in the "Bad Voodoo War" documentary. The Brass didn't listen, and years of 24-7-365 suicide patrols droned on. In WW2 "Bomber Command" targeted "built up areas" in Germany. It worked.
