#1 Why don't they ever seem to blame the people who actually set up the roadside bombs in an area where thousands of displaced people are living?

Besides, if you're ambushed aren't you supposed to return fire and cover the rest of your convoy until you get out of the attack zone?

(These questions are by a completely non-military person so please don't take offense at my ignorance.)

#2 That sounds like something I would write, Gladys dear. Not all of us understand matters military. Of course, this is an AP article, and a great many of them don't understand matters military, as well.
