The "target" comment comes from experience. It's not every game, but I've noticed that one partner or the other can get all the "abuse" when only one has the IAABO patch on.
Either you're perceived as the rookie who needs to "go to school", or you're the veteran who needs to take care of his partner.
I learned it was just easier to match.
