#1 Everyone must remember.. every time a terrorist is killed he suddenly becomes a civilian and his "mourning relatives" can claim a death benefit from the Coalition forces. And like fools we pay out without fully investigating fully.
This has become a big business in such a poor country.
Especially since the difference between a terrorist and a civilian is a rifle. I also find it quite amazing how accurately we seem only able to hit women, children, wedding parties, and campaign workers.
Never any terrorists.
Simply amazing.
