#2 Barbara - you're talking about the kings of "spray and pray". Their objective is not to kill each other, but to look ferocious in combat. That's why the taliwhacker/NATO statistics are always so lopsided - we train our soldiers to actually SHOOT AT THE ENEMY. That's something quite foreign to Arab armies.

#4 I suspect that they are actually "aiming" away from the other guys altogether. If I don't shoot them then they won't shoot me, and we all get to look ferocious.

#6 Isn't there some sort of "smart ammunition" we can send them so they actually end up killing each other? As the cartoon vulture was heard to say; "Patience, my ass ..."
