Never bring a grenade launcher to a tank fight.

Back during our initial incursion into Iraq last year, I read a couple of hilarious items in the news.

The first was about a couple of Iraqis in a pickup truck who tried to attack a US tank. The news article reported that the American troops neutralized the threat "by driving the tank over the truck".

The second involved a would-be truck bomber (or kamikazee, or something) in a bus who tried to ram the US convoy. The article quoted an American soldier saying something like, "he tried to deliberately ram us with the bus. So we fired a 50mm round through him, deliberately."

Please READ the article.

 

CENTCOM and CJTF-7, most DoD articles are factual and will make you proud of our troops.

 

Of course they leveled the mosque.

 

They also know that the mainstream press won't read past the headlines, (the press WOULD have used our leveling the mosque to incite unrest in the ME), and most Americans will never see a CENTCOM release - so ALWAYS read past the headline...the press won't (which is to our advantage during these days).
