I bet the Iraqis are so used to seeing the Americans that anyone who looks "special" would be a juicy target. Sounds like they're doing a fantastic job.

Interesting, but I'm not too sure of the benefits of working under the guise of US forces. I'm sure that there are far smarter military minds than mine who came up with that idea though.

Yep.
Includes not wearing uniforms, even though this has some issues with the Geneva convention. But that's not a worry when the other side's ignoring it anyway.

That's a very interesting tactic, though I doubt that it matters what uniform they're wearing because the poor boys are still gonna get their fair share of bullets thrown at 'em.
