According to Reuters:
U.S. troops in Iraq face 10 to 25 attacks a day, partly because they are hunting for Baathists, "jihadists" and fighters crossing the border from Syria, Gen. Tommy Franks, who ran the war against Baghdad, said on Thursday.
Iraq has a population similar to that of New York. How often do police in New York encounter potentially violent situations? Less often, I'm sure, but before Giuliani was the mayor of its largest city, it was pretty close, wasn't it?
