“The 300 US soldiers and Marines at al Asad air base in Iraq’s Anbar province continue to see mortar fire directed at their positions, with six more mortar rounds landing on the sprawling complex last week,” read a report via Gannett’s Defense News last Wednesday. “A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the incoming fire, but said that the closest rounds landed about a kilometer away, noting that the base is roughly the size of the city of Boulder, Colorado.”

I'm confused by this. Did the rounds land on the base but a kilometer away from the US troops on the base? Or did the "incoming" rounds miss the entire base by a click?

To me it seems if you're getting missed by a km you're probably not the target, or you have an extremely inept and poorly trained foe.

It was only a matter of time before Western soldiers serving as advisors to Iraqi troops began to take on a role more closely resembling conventional ground forces.

Could that be because the Western soldiers’ protégées are worthless as soldiers?

Air attacks by Indiana ANG A-10s apparently don’t count
