People do understand that while there are 141,000 troops in Iraq only about a third are actual combat troops in the sense that they go out on daily patrols. Units like Armored, Infantry, & Military police. Mechanics, Cooks & other support troops dont normally do guard duty, patrols, check points, raids, or other "combat" issues nor do nurses or doctors even if some support troops carry guns. Obviously they all know how to fight & shoot but they don't all do it on a daily basis so why tied the military's hands even more? The media reports there being 141,000 troops theres really only a third of that are actually "policeing". I think there's more then 141,000 law enforcement troops in california or Texas which are both said to be about the size of Iraq so either way Iraq is relatively calm given the over all numbers even compared to other wars. Why must we tie the hands of the military even more? Why why why
