The Army does have a clue which is why they would not use tactics such as those you mentioned, it will have a negative not a positive effect.

And...how is that working out for them so far? Oh yeah, that's right...they are pouring over the borders to keep fighting. Their weakness....find their weakness. 101 in fighting ANYTHING.
If Al Queda insurgents were backed into a corner and the only ammo they had to use was captured Israeli ordinance, they'd use it.
I give you the age-old story about the kidnapped KGB agent and the Bobbit treatment to free him. We cannot continue to apply Western values when interpreting how our actions will be received. Weakness does not gain respect in the eyes of our enemy. And it isn't the Army requesting this, it is the RATs on the armed services committee.
