Suicide missions are for combat troops, not logistics troops. You supply the fighters, you don't fight with the suppliers.

Good point, but i don't think we know the whole story so we can't really say what happened.
But they are a supply unit so there should be no need to not go on the mission. [/b][/quote]
I suppose. Those initial US POW's, one of which was the infamous Jessica Lynch, (i think, hope I'm not confusing her w/ prison scandal) were part of a logistics unit. Those were probably the most gripping images in the first weeks of the war.
I'd put money on the fact that many of the killed/wounded are logistics people. They're easier to ambush and easier to fight then full combat troops (I assume).
