To be honest, it is "recruiting". I am currently in Baghdad and get to see alot of the intel reports that come out and never make the news. People from mostly northern Africa are coming in swarms to sign up. Most are not looking for a long term fight but instead feel its their "calling" to become what they believe as being a "marter". The last news I saw was our wonderful News agency's reporting 10 Civilian's being killed by us. Yes that was a major fuck up, but what they didnt report was a few of them were killed in a crossfire. Special Ops had chased 7 men into a house. Good news all 7 of them are dead, bad news is 2 civ's got in the middle.

If you care to hear whats really going on just let me know. Whats happening and what you see on the news are two completely different things.
