I heard a couple mortor rounds leave the tube across the river then land inside the Green Zone while checking ID badges this evening. Man, I'm glad I'm making sure people have proper ID badges leaving the Green Zone instead of chasing after bad guys who target fixed locations daily! (note the sarcasim) I'm just an inexperienced conventional soldier and I get frustrated with being humstrung, I can't imagine having the training/ability of SF and still not able to take immediate action. 1st Cav will rotate out soon enough.
