Just saw a presentation by Col Hickey.. 4th ID Bde Commader that captured saddam..= VERY enlightening considering what we here from the press. no attacks on his tropps for three consecutive months, enemy in his sector no longer have RPG's to shoot at his troops.. working economy.. jobs.. America support... running water and working sewer system.. IED's in his area blowing up more insurgents/ terrorists then they are anyone else.
The way he put it, he is in charge of combat trained troops, the combat arms of the Army.. insurgents and Terrorists/ mercenaries won't mess with his troops, and they are well enough trained not to drive into an IED. The people in his sector that had the most problems were people driving through from other areas.. Supply, Transportation, Reserve and NG people.. The EASY, less trained soldiers are what the insurgents are all targetting now.
