I guess there were too many of them and they weren't fast enough. Just ask Rumsfeld. </sarc> :-(

The “US Army,” as you put it, is following what your elected officials are directing it to do. Impress this!

Good morning.
“I am not impressed with the US Army over this.”

Bad things happen, even to good soldiers.

I'm willing to bet that the men and women of the US army aren’t too impressed with your opinion of them, either.

It's a war, if you fight, some of yours will be injured, die, or be captured. The only way to prevent causalities and having your troops captured is to "cut and run".

Or there is one other way. Kill the enemy and win the war, but that can take some time in a urban guerrilla scenario.

This is what you get when your strategy is to not hurt anybody and then put your soldiers out in the field as practice targets for the enemy.
