Thanks for the post, Eurotwit.

I really appreciate the pings, Coop. Thank you.

"Then there are the people that are shooting at us with routine frequency. Identifying who they are is a challenge. It's a very small portion of the population. Holding the entire population responsible only causes more violence, so I have to surgically determine who they are and that takes time. But because of the way we've been doing business here, more and more people are providing us with information. When an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] goes off in an area, it scares the hell out of them. Their kids are crying, their mothers are scared. So they're glad we're doing this." Leaflets Reilly's psychological operations unit leaves on the road depict tanks and helicopters and state, "We're watching you."
