#1 In every city in the world, there are "good" neighborhoods and "bad" neighborhoods. This is important when cleaning up a city like Baghdad, because the troublemakers are very 'hood oriented, *and* there is a reason "good" neighborhoods are good.

This means that when they leave the bad part of town to attack the good, they are both out of their element, and everyone there is their enemy. They stand out in several ways, and operating is one heck of a lot harder.

Once their old 'hood has been purged, they will try to return, to find that everything has changed. This usually "takes a lot of the air out of their tires."
