Nice sarcasm, concho. Was it supposed to be persuasive in some way?
Within the above article was the following:
Anytime an American fires a weapon there has to be an investigation into why there was an escalation of force. That wouldn't have stopped us from firing, but it prevents us from just firing indiscriminately. We have to have positively identified targets. That is why I am now a big fan of having the Iraqis with us. They can fire at whatever the hell they want, we call it the "Iraqi Death Blossom." These guys receive one shot and the whole unit fires at everything in sight until the attached American unit gets them to control their fire. That's fine with me.
This is an example of how our soldiers’ hands are tied due to policy. This has nothing to do with ability or available firepower.
