Ping. This was sent to me by a retired O-6 family friend, who got it from his son, who is "on deck" in Germany right now.

Canvas doors offer no protection

They do offer protection from motorcyclist coming alongside a moving Humvee and tossing a grenade into the vehicle. From reports I've heard this happens quite frequently.

How will this impact community relations?
That should be the last of our concerns. The first concern should be killing the enemy at all costs. Until the enemy is dead we can have no community relations with the Iraqi people.

A very smart company commander - but I’ll bet it really pissed off a lot of pencil pushing desk jockeys.

Excellent article! As I read it FOX reported one of our convoys was ambushed resulting in approximately 9 KIAs with some dying in burning vehicles. I hope this info is passed on as most of our casualties seem to come from IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and convoy ambushes. These attacks seem to take place daily and we seem unable to counteract them.
God Bless our troops!!
