You don’t often hear about this kind of artillery “heavy offensive.” Let’s do what needs to be done and get the heck out of Iraq. The U.S. spends billions on military hardware, and we hardly ever use it.
Addendum: Whoa! A Full Metal Jacket scenario. An American soldier murders his commander:
An American army sergeant has been charged with murdering his company commander and another officer in a blast in Iraq this month…The officers were killed by a blast in Tikrit on June 7, a statement by U.S. forces in Iraq said on Friday.An initial investigation indicated the officers were killed by a mortar round but further examination showed the blast was “inconsistent with a mortar attack,” it said. Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Steve Boylan gave no further details…The murder case was the first of its kind among U.S. troops in Iraq itself and the first since the U.S.-led invasion began in March 2003.
