Well the Maintenance Company making a wrong turn during the run to Baghdad was a long over due wake up call for the Army. Now think about the way they used and throw in a well placed Airborne/Air Assault landing on top of them. It makes me cringe to think about back then. Even by today standards, I wouldn't have a warm and fuzzy feeling either, but they would be more like to put up resistance than before.

Just my humble opinion.
