Shoot at American Patrol. Get Shot. Ditch Rifle. Ask Patrol for Bandage. Repeat?

A short while later, after the patients had been evaluated and stabilized, another medic from the Blackhawk detachment visited the hospital to check on the two Afghan men. He found that when a forensic examination had been conducted of the patients’ hands, both men had tested positive for gunshot residue. This meant that in all likelihood they had been firing weapons a short while before. If this was so, then the most likely explanation was this: they had been firing at the American patrol, and after being shot had assumed the role of wounded civilians, seeking help from the same men they had been trying to kill, and from the same helicopters that, each day, the Taliban fighters try to shoot down.

You have to truly admire our armed forces serving in The Sandbox. Most people, subjected to the idiot rules of engagement that they are stuck with, would simply revolt and go home.
