L2,

< You speak from knowledge?> Yes. Let me buy you a beer first. The fire fighters were of course heroic - the communications was piss poor resulting in tragic results - but, I make it a point to never second guess the guys on the ground.

My only point is that combat is something to be avoided at all costs unless you are absolutely sure what the fight is all about. I was, and am all in favor of special ops guys in Afganistan - Iraq, in my opinion was a tragic mistake - we've lost a lot of people - a lot of civilians not in the fight have been died too. Strategically it didn't make any sense to me.

Didn't mean any personal attack at all - you just touched a nerve with the expression about going right at the RPG. Saber rattlers who have never used one (and I don't mean you at all) worry me.

Enjoy the beer...peace...it's Friday.
