At least they are not strapping explosives to themselves and walking into a crowded mosque. Where is the honor in that???
Or hiding around the corner and detonating a dead goat stuffed with explosives as convoys drive by.

The American Military doesn't use weapons for "show and tell" on any one for marketing means! The Military uses its weapons in support of troops (I.E. to keep casualties at a minimum as much as possible) Or to destroy targets that would be otherwise inaccessable to infantry or would likely cause more infantry casualties. To use a tank in an area where insergents are known to use RPGs is only expected. 1 RPG against a tank kills or injures few. 1 RPG against an infantry platoon kills and injures to many. the same with an aircraft. Why get close enought to get yourself or your team mates in your platoon killed when you can deliver accurate fire upon an insergent hideout with out over exposing yourselves.

No they arent practicing. With any luck they will get the hell out of Iraq within 3 weeks. So the nice peaceful people of Iraq can get on with their civil war.

that's called collateral damage you know like when you walk into a wedding of some one you do not know with 20 pounds of explosive strapped to your body and kill 50 people you don't know. i mean when your up against that sort of crazy lunatics i would rather be inside a tank then walking by.

If you observe and take in the picture of what is happening over in Iraq I don't think you would be asking this question.
