#1 Terrorist #1: "Remember, kids, don't try this at home." Terrorist #2, nodding sagely, "Yeah, we're prof "

#3 So the mortar team doesn't become a martyr team? Hmmm.

#4 Not clear. Is the second team firing at the first teams spot or at rescuers at the first target?

Also, how will they adapt it to this:
Shooting down bullets and mortars

#5 VC/NVA fired rockets with fuses all the time. lite and scoot. area accuracy depending, not point.

#6 ...The ice story is fun - will make a great scene in a movie someday - but think about this for a second. Although the ice will melt quickly, it will NOT suddenly vanish. The result is that the round will slowly slide down the barrel, not suddenly drop.

#7 NOt exactly the Indian Chief in the MYSTIC WARRIOR video, sticking his spear into the ground, yelling his name and and taunting/demanding enemy warriors to kill him mano-a-mano. The Raddies have no prob shooting women in the back of the head ala "honor" killings, but "honor" doesn't extend to males engaging in no-name shoot-and-scoot: goes to prove that Radical Islam is more about political victory than justifying [Radical]Islam, i.e. young idealist warriors/youths dying and old men talking BUT NOT SOLVING ANYTHING.

#8 Perhaps we should forget about mortars and just carpet /fire bomb the friggin bastards like we did in Dresden. Killed thousands. If we are lucky maybe we could kill more. These losers in Iraq don't amount to as much.....its more human than just nuking the entire place.

#9 Witt - your plan is good except for one minor detail - MOST OF IRAQ IS OPPOSED TO THE TERRORISTS!! Remind me not to be within 100 miles of you when you go deer hunting.
