They are coming at us with minvans and canoes? I don't know if they are brave or stupid. Can you imagine getting that order as an Iraqi.
Ok....you men....jump into the Chrysler Town & Country and attack that M1A1.....you other men....into the canoe and assault that bridge....as for me....I'll drive the Chevy Silverado headlong into that Bradley.
That is all they got to defend them self.
Same question that you can say about the Scotts & pitch forks that fought against the English knights in armors & steeds. And, why the Polish cavalry would charge the German armor when they were being invaded?
Perhaps, it is an illogical thing to do, but it could be that many of them rather die than be a slave/conquer by the imperialist American.
It just goes to show that this war isn't a popular war & the Iraqis do not want the US to "bail" them out from Saddam.
