I guess it's pretty easy to "armchair" quarterback while online from the ease of your living room. Their surrounded, low on ammo and night is falling. It appears the Lt. done what he was trained to do to gain an advantage of some sort and that is get into their heads. I guess it would be time to pull out all the stops and if getting in someone's head allows you to live another day then I suppose it's worth it. Was it a poor choice to use religion to get into their heads? I dunno as I've never been to Iraq and never in that situation. It sounds like most of the troops that was in that spot at that particular time are coming home so it appears to have worked. Right, wrong or indifferent I am not passing judgment on any of our men or women in uniform serving in that cesspool the world refers to as Iraq. You do what you have to do with what you have to work with and move on, live another day if you can. Eventually they all add up and you come home if your lucky.
