Fascinating, Mike. Question. When you say not a single Green Beret has been killed in Iraq does that mean that no Special Forces have been killed? I tend to think of Green Berets as a subcategory of Special Forces but you da expert. Saw your posts on the MPs. Good point.

You never seem to get rattled on the posts or replies. Is that training or just being laid back?

UW, on a different note, me thinks our troops may need some additional training in dealing with the new phenomena of "War on TV" : I just watched a clip on TV, where some Iraqis were demonstrating in front of US troops, asking for law and order to be restored. One soldier responded quite audibly on TV "we're here to fight for your f'in freedom, so shut the f' up". I can understand the instinctive desire to make such a comment, but when the world on TV is watching it made, it does not reflect well.
