TACTICS, TACTICS, TACTICS and TACTICS.
Our's are wrong, and they need to be fixed YESTERDAY.
Either retaliate (and when I say retaliate - I mean wipe out whole city blocks in the surrounding areas where the choppers took off from) ~OR~ develop new tactics.
If I were in command, civilians would be evacuated from all building (homes, stores, businesses) within RPG range of helopads.
And anyone caught giving or recieving blood money for killing or attempting to kill an American would have one way out - the FIRING SQUAD. And, I'd make the Iraqis be the ones pulling the triggers.
This calls for new tactics.
