This Sergeant reports today that rocket attacks against their personnel have greatly diminished in the past week. He credits this to some previous very aggressive operations against armed enemy in their area.


Now I get it! They took care of you in Nam! :>) We will not know for sure until some books are written, but I think that the ROE around Baghdad was tightened by Baghdad HQ right after the 17 Iraqis were killed in May. Then when the US casualties started to mount the rules were changed back to a more aggressive stance. Hopefully, they have it right now. We have been five days with no one killed.
