| #3 What I got from the CENTCOM brief was that these folks thought there was something wrong with the trucks or the convoy. Sounds like a lot of rumors swirling around that unit and maybe they took them seriously. The Army will sort it all out soon enough. I think franks kind of right but in reverse. Some NCO thought something was wrong based on rumor and he got the other to go along. |

| #2 Sounds like they were not stupid but some wanking officer up the command chain was. Sounds like they were guilty of refusing to be stupid and drive old worn out broken down second hand trucks with no armor into a ambush without an armed escort. |
