This one seems apt for today - given Bill's story of being mortared, failure to honor a truce, and Oldloadrs observation yesterday about M113s wearing fencing.

Yup, John's got it, Mags. And *no*, I wasn't there when Georgie said it...

�No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.� is how I remember it, Maggie.

I love the sentiment expressed! :-) Reminds me of the Patton quote-can't remember his exact words-to the effect that the goal of combat isn't to die gloriously for your country but to make the enemy die gloriously for his.

I was just tying in the comment about the fencing... Snipers. I'm surrounded by snipers!

Stryker MCV-B variant, that one. Not sure if the 172d or 3/2 were the first to take those to Iraq.
