The remaining fighters poured into the base firing mortars and RPGs, as well as Kalashnikov AK-47 automatic weapons.

And I really wouldn't give a flying (%^) what uniform they're wearing.
When they're using the weapon of the enemy they're dead meat.

This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy;
and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it.

Looks like 14 of 15 ARE dead meat, but that’s cold comfort if they did the amount of damage they seem to have done.

Reporting and the fog of war being what they are, initial details are often faulty. No matter what subterfuge was used, I’m willing to let my contempt for the enemy coexist with a healthy respect for his capabilities and resourcefulness.

Clint Eastwood is a favorite actor of mine, particularly after the convention speech, but judging military events based on Hollywood films is less helpful than speculating on enemy capabilities and methods, IMHO.
