I wonder what the name of her book will be...


"How not to use GPS in an RPG environment"


According to the Reuters story, it was the company commander (!) who
used the GPS incorrectly.

I am, by the way, reading a superlative book about the Iraq war: "The
March Up" by Bing West and Ray Smith. Both are former marine officers;
Smith retired as a maj gen. It is one of the best pieces of reporting
I have ever read. And one of the things that amazes is the
near-constant use of GPS.

(The marines prefer civilian $200 GPS units to military issue, BTW.)

all the best -- Dan Ford
