GIs barricade themselves into outposts for safety. |
From MSNBC, 5/8/07:

GIs at Iraqi outposts seek safety in fortifications
By Ann Scott Tyson
BAGHDAD -
Nearly three months after the U.S. military launched a new strategy to
safeguard Baghdad's population by pushing American and Iraqi forces
deeper into the city's neighborhoods, defending their small outposts
is increasingly requiring heavy bulwarks reminiscent of the
fortress-like bases that the U.S. troops left behind.
To guard against bombs, mortar fire and other threats, U.S. commanders
are adding fortifications to the outposts, setting them farther back
from traffic and arming them with antitank weapons capable of stopping
suicide bombers driving armored vehicles.
U.S. troops maintain the advantage of living in the neighborhoods they
are asked to protect, but the need to safeguard themselves from attack
means more walls between them and civilians.

More like the bunkers the Nazi high command were forced to use -- and
for the same reasons.

You're a complete dumbass.
The stated goal of the surge was to place U.S. soldiers in
neighborhoods so they could interact with the Iraqi citizens and
create an environment of trust.
The surge has been a complete failure because now U.S. soldiers have
to resort to creating miniature green zones away from the citizens to
keep from being killed.
And you're so fucking stupid, you don't get it.
