This unit was last in line for minimally required equipment because they were in Tallil (where Tobias was stationed) and where there is no unrest and violence. Problem was that management (general) decided to send this ill equipped unit into southern Baghdad (literally called the Death Highway), then into Baghdad, and then into the Sunni Triangle. I have no problem with their rebellion. The standard Army position appears to be they were right, but we must discipline someone to make a show of discipline.
