Its a somewhat different environment. Many of our guys are dying from
a grenade having been tossed at them while they're standing at a road
block talking to someone or in a market dealing with a dispute. Our
guys are targets simply because the Pro-Saddam elements have zero
respect for our guys and life in general. Ambushes on columns of
trucks aren't as big an issue as I understand it.
