Is this to say that you believe that allowing possible suicide bombers, search a vehicle where you don't know if there is a bomb the may detonate is a good idea? I noticed you post to me wall all fluff and allusions to movie screens and that you conspicuously avoided that very pointed question that I've once again restated for your benefit.
Excuse me but these guys are in a WAR ZONE. I understand that they had information that there were morters and IED's in the house that they were raiding(which proved true). Sure, send in the PFC to check the vehicles.
I survived my year in Vietnam by not giving the enemy the benefit of the doubt.
The Lieutenant didn't do himself any favors by emptying two clips into the guys though.
