Kill zone edit

  • ... that a successful military ambush may take less than a minute to neutralize every soldier in the kill zone?

  • Hook, source, date, and length look good. "A well-executed ambush may..." sounds pretty similar to the cited source, but I'm not sure if this constitutes an issue (not adept at paraphrasing concerns). You could rephrase that sentence into what the hook says (i.e. use "successful"). Ruby 2010/2013 03:15, 11 January 2012 (UTC) Looks good! Ruby 2010/2013 15:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the note. I used the word successful in place of well-executed. Binksternet (talk) 05:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
