"yeah. I like hearing about Marines kicking a$$. However, I wouldn't advocate our newspapers describing our tactics and procedures in the F-ing newspaper!! WTF, its not like they don't have people here who read the paper and pass that along to other cells.."
I appreciate your sentiments believe me. But actually, I was at the official Marine Corps. web site, and picked this article up. I referenced the link directly the newspaper. If you wish to view OIF I/OIF II activities from the MC site it is at:

During OIF I, he site was loaded with approved articles of all sorts. We have to remember, to put things in perspective. What is printed is already done. And truly I do not mean it as neither a boast, brag, nor to otherwise, but those that wish our military harm are in Iraq or would go to Iraq if they can get in, and therefore know more then we at home read about. All they have to do is pick up a cell phone and ask someone in any given town what is up on any given day.
Very true. I was fuming at the fact that other armies from around the world get to learn from our mistakes, either it be good or bad, free of charge on the tv. It's not like there aren't chinese and other agents in Iraq learning as much from this war as we are..
