My cousin is serving his 2nd tour in Iraq (as part of the 3rd armored)....he's an Apache crew chief, during his first tour (as part of the 1st armored) when stationed a Baghdad Internat'l they took fire on a daily basis and when they were coming home, had to convoy the equipment back to Kuwait, and he wasn't well equiped. He's also qualified as a marksman, so he was one who literally "rode shotgun" in the Humvee. They didn't even have the reinforced Humvee's for the most part. Are the "support" personnel considered at a lesser risk, than "regular" personnel?
