Today's essential Afghan reading

Once again, Free Range International:

"You cannot counter good tactics with technology because your enemy will always find ways of beating the technology for around 1/1000 of the cost it took to develop the technology in the first place. You will hear from senior commanders over and over that the MRAP’s save lives. That is bullshit. The enemy will find a way to turn those beasts into iron coffins in time – what is saving lives is the fact that our enemies are more incompetent than we are."

True, dat.
