on a tactical level, i wonder why we haven't put more effort into anti-mortar laser technology. on a more operational level, why not just declare korengal open season to USAF?

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov -

The man was a legend among his own boys.A very special officer and a very special man.The report on his death is somewhat incorrect.He was mortally wounded as the last man to board the helicopter as the joint force came under heavy fire.Those who know don't speak

Present Arms! My condolences to his family and friends for their loss. Too many fine men and women lost in a war that I've found impossible to justify since late 2007.

BBC News - Afghanistan: Eight-year-old girl 'used in attack'
An eight-year-old girl has been killed after insurgents used her in a bomb attack on police in southern Afghanistan, the government has said.
The interior ministry said insurgents gave the girl a package and told her to take it to a police vehicle, detonating it as she approached.
No-one else was killed in the explosion, in Uruzgan province.
The incident came a day after an attack on a hospital which killed at least 38 people in the east of the country.
Dozens were injured. Elderly people, pregnant women and children were said to be among the casualties.
'No respect'
A statement by the ministry described the Uruzgan incident as a "crime and a shameful act".
"The child, pure-hearted and in good faith, took the bag and moved towards the police vehicle," it said.
"As she got close to the police vehicle, the enemy detonated the bomb by remote control, killing the innocent child."
The governor of Char Cheno district, where the attack took place, told the BBC the girl was from the nearest village.
She was told nothing would happen to her, he said, adding that the perpetrators had "no boundary, no respect for anything".
Correspondents say insurgents have recruited both adult women and recently male children to carry out suicide attacks, though the Taliban denies recruiting children.Comment

If I were the U.S. Army and captured this (these) guys I'd forewarn the mother and then take them to her for further identification. If Kipling was correct about the wounded lying on the fields of Afghanistan then that mother would know what to do. I'm sure she could quickly locate a knife or two.
