That's brilliant, Elvis; maybe you're on to something here.

Next week when I sit in on the next video-teleconference with the forward deployed brigade, I'll mention to them that they can't protect themselves 100% of the time anyway, so why bother? The Strykers still gotta roll out the gate, so why bother with a protective perimeter?

You may have just stumbled onto a great money saving idea there. May cost a life or two, but, hey, that's what they joined for, right?

But that's Iraq and this is the US? I'll have them pass the word to al Qaeda not to bother us here, too.

Oh, sorry, just got emotional again. My bad.
