Well, when they shoot... if it kills their enemy, it was because God willed it. 'Cause everything is in Allah's hands. So, to spend TOO much time aiming would be sinful: thinking that you could decide things that are in God's domain. Kind of like the Sin of Pride in the Judeo-Christian world (taking credit for things that God allowed to happen).
So, quite literally, they aim in the right area and fire. It will hit...God Willing. This is a very common thing with MANY Islamic fighting forces, and I don't doubt a number of others too. Watch videos of modern US and European troops, or even Soviet troops, they usually aim. Compare to videos of current-day Iraqi and Afghan Army troops firing, it's STILL hard to get them to aim. Of course, some aim quite well, but the tendency is an Insha'Allah attitude.
Me...I spent more time on the firing range than in the chapel.
The insurgency is a rough game. You hang one too many mortar rounds, the counterfire gets you. Apaches get you. Snipers get you. Poor safety standards, your own IED's get you. And often enough, Allah does NOT Insha.
When I was in Ramadi (mid 05 to mid 06), all the local insurgent groups and out-of-town AQI used google earth for rocket and mortar attacks. Crazy, when "poor man's sat imagery" is almost as good as the rich man's. Luckily, GE images are often out of date....and insurgents fire rockets with an Insha'Allah kind-of mentality.

No kidding. I mean, we already have constant hydrogen fusion in the sun, making large swaths of the earth inhabitable. And we all know how THAT turned out.
LOL...nice. But no, pouge wasn't an acronym. It was retroactively created by people who need acronyms to remember anything.
Like my buddy. He got kicked out of the marines. They caught him reading a book. "Hey, this thing ain't got no pictures!"
Marines are grunts like...the marines at JCOT? The travel agents of Iraq. Like the marines in the MCX? The sales associates "in country". Like the marines that bring the FOB mail around? And all the marines guarding the chowhall at camp cupcake and TQ?Semper Fool, deviled egg!
Nazism, fascism, and communism each place control of private wealth and put it under the control of the government. Nazism is just german national socialism. Fascism...government controlled commerce. Communism...government controlled property. If you consider yourself to be pro liberty, these ideals are evil.
When the government can take anything away from you at any time, for any or no reason, that isn't liberty. It isn't freedom. There are no choices. That IS evil.

I can't say I'm looking forward to bigger, faster, shit-covered platters...but hey. Who am I to stand in the way of progress?
