"I'm telling you these guys taking some of the shots knew they were going to die," said Hollis, a 17-year veteran and native of Pensacola, Fla. "But they still, under that fire, squeezed the trigger, even though they knew that was the last thing they were going to do. They were standing the ground and fighting, and our guys were standing the ground and fighting."

That describes a firefight by well-disciplined and trained troops. Besides training, it takes enormous fortitude to expose oneself to enemy fire to place a well-aimed shot.

Ya gotta respect an enemy like that even though their leaders are stupid to place them in that predicament.

I wonder if their and our press will point out that stupidity to them.
