And the returning soldier had this all too common review of the notorious night raids:

"We did hit the wrong house quite often," he says. "We had these overhead maps, satellite maps, and when you're on the street in the middle of the night, it's hard to find the right house. In those instances, we'd say, 'Sorry,' and give 'em a card with a phone number to call the Army and we'd pay for the damages."

"Other patrols found illegal weapons on these raids, but Rodgers's never did."

So, smashing up random houses in the night, arresting a fair number of non-combatants, and taking over people's homes for long term bases--  All things that got Americans killing troops of what was at the time their own government.  And American's are a hell of a lot more alien and offensive to Iraqi's than British were to white Americans.  Just a pinch of perspective...
