We are rather dogmatic in our force protection schemes. In this instance, the British have pushed the decisions down to the lower levels whereas our approach is a lot more dogmatic. There is much to be said for the British approach.

I agree. Peacekeeping and war fighting are two very different things. You have to take the Kevlar off and mix it up with the locals. They have to see us as people if we are to be sucessful in winning the peace.
