Sir`s, i`m trying to assist someone with a paper for school, but unf. lost my source for firsthand info. I am looking for a general stats site (overall number of US forces in country from beginning to end, not the max number) but most important, info about the use of civilians as combatants. I recall numerous stories about kids and women who blew themselves up in the midst of US soldiers, but couldnt find them online. Any links and personal oppinions about these and the restrictions placed on the US forces would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Mat

Edited to add: I disagree with Ed Moise`s claim that the impact of restrictions is exaggerated (http://www.clemson.edu/caah/history/FacultyPages/EdMoise/limit2.html), and am interessted in the oppinions of you BTDT`s.
