In an article in the July-August 2006 issue of Military Review, an official publication of the US Army, Lt Col. Carl D. Grunow described his 11-month tour of duty as an advisor to the Iraqi Army, which, he said, "will need years to become equal to the challenge posed by a persistent insurgent and terrorist threat." He pointed out numerous problems, including the Iraqi "death blossom": any attack, even by a single sniper, "provokes te average Iraqi soldier to empty his 30 round magazine and fire whatever belt of ammunition happens to be in his machine gun."
