USA, UK, France, Israel, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea.\nUSA and Israel are the only two that used them against Iraq in desert storm and in the last war, Israel uses them in small doses against Lebanon and Palestine.

They are in fact assigned to typically rear echelon MOS's.  However, the terrorists attack lightly armed or defended supply and support columns because they are "easy" targets.  In regular war these support units are fairly safe from enemy attack.  However, they are plum targets for a terrorist that just wants to kill anything American whether it gains them a tactical advantage or not.  So medic, supply clerks are in just as must danger as a grunt in the front line when away from their base camp.\nMy advice to US military women aka "soldiers or Marines"  stay alert and stay alive and keep your weapon clean!!!

I'll give it to you in the easy, CliffNotes style. US forces were going after members of Somali clans that were stirring up trouble. The locals were pretty indifferent about America until one day at a clan meeting, US helicopters and forces bombarded the building with TOW missiles, injuring many old clan leaders, children, men and others who weren't part of the group that were causing trouble. US forces fired 20-some missiles, according to witnesses on the scene. The Rangers came in and arrested whomever was alive. Piles of bodies were everywhere.\n\nThe Somalis said from that day on that they essentially lost respect for the US forces and started referring to all of them, in a bad way, as "Rangers". Subsequently, the Black Hawk Down Incident occurred because Somali citizens had had enough of the trouble the US was causing. The incident with the TOW missiles probably indicates the fondness for shooting down American helicopters that day. When the Somalis captured Mike Durant after his copter was shot down, they cried "You die now Ranger!".\n\nPlease read the actual book BlackHawk Down was based on. The movie was an atrocity in every way. You will be glad I told you to, it is a very good read.

Israel had watched for some time as the troops massed on it's border.  The papers screamed abuse (something like now) and threats of total war.  \n\nThe Israelis, not willing to wait idly by (controversially) launched a pre-emptive air strike against enemy airfields and aircraft.  In the first day they had air superiority.  5 days later, they had 2 divisions of good used Soviet Armor to supplement their Army, and the war was over.

Oil. Soldiers are killing and being killed for Oil. Remeber that the Bushes are an OIL RICH Family. The president is an Oil Man. \nToo bad the soldiers did not do their homework before going off to war in a poor desert country so Bush and his buddies can have more oil money.\nHistory repeats itself and those who don't know it are condemned to repeat it. Remeber the GULF WAR in 1989-1992 ?\nAll the soldiers who came back and found they were fighting not for freedom but for Oil Companies ? And still they go like sheep to the slaughter.

Didn't the court martial of Lt. Calley for the My Lai massacre of women and children count for anything.  It prepared the present day commanders in Desert Storm to state to their troops "no My Lais--you hear?"  I say, we learned from history and will try to be as civilized in war as much as possible.  Troops in combat will always behave savagely in the heat of the moment, who are we to judge sitting in our comfortable living rooms, not knowing what they're go thru.  I won't judge them, but pray that we're not as inhumane as the enemy.

I would assume the people on the ground, the enlisted man panicking or encountering traumatic stress syndrome etc.  Just a Non- commissioned officer who needs a schooling in the rules of engagement.

They go where ever they want for R&R. Army now wears ACU. No dress uniform in Iraq or Afghanistan required. Some people get to go to Qutar.
