#3 When the force arrived at the target location, the targeted man came out and refused to follow the interpreter's instructions to surrender. Approaching the force, the man made a threatening movement. Coalition forces perceived hostile intent and engaged the terrorist, killing him. He was part of a terrorist facilitation network that provides false documents and moves supplies around Iraq.

Not exactly the RAB in terms of drama and suspense, but still nice work.

#4 The medical benefits stink. There's no disability insurance. The food is bad. There is no job security. The work is dangerous. Supervision is incompetent and the whole lot are boneheads. "Retirement" may come at any time. Advancement is iffy. "You get no respect." Work accidents occur all the time. The whole thing sucks.

#6 Wait till the rank and file find out that they are getting 72 raisins of clarity instead of dark-eyed virgin goats. That'll really do wonders for morale.
