I dont think we would lose anywhere near 6 solders, if any, facing off against 30 dumbass militants. let's be a little realistic with the scenarios here...

Perhaps you should ask a veteran from the Battle of Mogadishu about that.

Mogadishu probably isn't the greatest example. That was a mobile force that was ambushed (by thousands). Attacking an entrenched position, especially when you have the inferior tactical position, is an entirely different ballgame.

This is really, really hard to do for even the best-trained soldiers. You're trying to fire and maneuver in a confined space, going uphill, putting yourself directly into pre-determined fields of fire, against a well-trained enemy. That is WW1 type shite.
