Ok, this kinda stuff just cracks me up when I read it, since I am a
retired USAF officer.  I wonder if these folks have really thought
this through?  Do they really want to become "combatants" and
therefore be subjected to an entirely different set of rules of
engagement?

While I certainly would not advocate this, I would most likely fall
out of my chair laughing the day I read about a Ranger raid or bombing
run on one of their houses.

Sorry, back to reality... but thanks for the chuckles on this one!
