But isn't everyone who is in Iraq be them support units or whatever in a combat role?# They were each trained with a basic rifle course i'm sure, only thing lacking is the additonal training a unit such as Infantry would recieve.# And they would lack the firepower of other combat called units as well.

I'm sure they were trained. Just because they've been through basic training though doesn't mean that they're ready to hit the front lines. They're specialty is loading, driving, and unloading food, water, and fuel.
If you're asked to do a job that's dangerous (maybe fatal), it's pretty natural to refuse.
It's one thing if someone's lives are depending on your shipment, another if its a batch of dirty fuel that most likely will have to come back anyway.
That's just a stupid mission. Not worth dying over, regardless of your training.
