An odd sense of chivalry prevents me from identifying the online source of this observation, purportedly made by a US soldier (Airborne) while stateside between tours:
The enemy does not identify himself; he doesn\ufffdt wear a uniform and fight honorably, out of the way of children and women and innocents, and that is what makes everything more difficult, for everyone. "If the enemy would simply fight this war traditionally, it would be over by now," he said.
Ayup, if those damned ragheads would just put on identifiable clothing and walk out in front of us, preferably only lightly armed, so that we could pot them at our leisure, why we could get on with building a functioning Jeffersonian democracy on the Tigris. What kind of barbarous fanatics refuse to fight by those perfectly reasonable rules of engagement, I ask you?
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
