I am a vet, but admittedly clueless with respect to today's military tactics and strategies. So does anyone have any comment regarding our evident inability to consitently protect our helicopters from rocket propelled grenades and ground personnel from roadside suicide bombers amd IED's? In the former case, should not additional armour, electronic jamming devices etc. be developed? And in the case of the IED's, what about the Predator survellience and sniper teams? And how in the world can suicide bombers consistently get close enough to massed numbers of Iraqi army and police groups to cause the casulties that they do?...
