Shocking Tally of Iraq Civilian Causalities

[jahcs]

Occhi, I've usage in Vietnam similar to your attempted use of WP in your training mission. They would throw WP down a hole and the smoke produced would frequently cause the enemy to vacate the hole and any connecting tunnel openings would also vent the smoke. Perhaps WP was used to flush tenacious insurgents from their positions also. Until we get disclosure from the Government or reliable sources that were there it's only guesswork though.

One thing that is getting under my skin about this whole thing is the phrase "used against civilians." I would bet almost zero of our munitions used during the entire conflict were employed against civilians. Civilians may have been injured or killed by some but that is much different than saying they were employed against civilians.
