Why were these soldiers patrolling by themselves without backup and in a friggin SUV...
This is a battleground and they should have been riding with weapons drawn, in a convoy of at least two vehicles, one heavy, one light and no surprises.
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU BRASS THINKING ABOUT? Ditch the politically correct nationbuilding stuff right now and get down to the business of actually winning a war. This is a war.

I'm no expert, but these may not have been rank-and-file soldiers. And the Iraqis may have known that.
