"and though he won't tell me much more, it's clear that he did not want to do it." That's the other half of the equation. Using troops like this ruins their effectiveness. They aren't trained for it, nor is it what they signed up for. If he did that for months at a time, then the practice is wider spread than we have been led to believe, assuming his case is typical and he just didn't get lucky. And that means there is a greater degree of resentment amongst Iraqis than most Americans realize. So when the lid finally blows off, our people will be in a great deal of danger. Just flinking great.
