I'm not a big proponent of the war but this is unfair AChimp. Soldiers have been seeing a lot of genuine people surrendering and other such things happening repeatedly which, yes, would probably make them susceptible to a rouse (as a matter of habit ... so to speak). In addition, these are support personnel ... not combat arms personnel who are trained to react to ambushes and firefights, ect. You don't have to be a warmonger to have at least a little compassion for human suffering ... they're basically truck drivers for crying out loud. OK, I'm done venting.
