This article via Instapundit is funny, but there are some sobbering parts at the end. It's understandable, but maybe the combat troops should listen a little closer to the psy-ops guys. Marginal at best.
This part is pretty good on a different matter.
RPG alley
One tactic Lieutenant-Colonel Russell and his team uses is to make themselves the bait.
On most nights, Humvees packed with soldiers will drive up and down what has been dubbed "RPG Alley" to try to attract fire from locals armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
While that has had some success in recent weeks, now Lieutenant-Colonel Russell is turning to the poster campaign to see if he can taunt Saddam loyalists into showing their faces.
I suspected that every story that ran "One US Soldier Killed Today" was only giving half the news. Like leaving out any mention of wether our guys even managed to shoot back or kill the attackers. They have been, which may explain why the attacks have started slowing down. Smaller pool of men to draw from since we're killing them during their attacks. But to mention that it's really a fight and not a random slaughter of our men wouldn't play to the opposition mantra as well. The stop the baby killers marchs failed, so now we hear that the opponets only want our men home safe.
Excuse me will I spit..........
