There should have never been two Battle of Fallujah's.
Too many loved ones have gotten killed because we didn't have the will to utilize the weapons in our inventory. The threat of “Your cicadas will chirp from the ground,” would be a better policy.
“There should have never been two Battle of Fallujah’s”.
Well ya got me there on that one. The Marines and Airborne troops just about had the job in hand when they were ordered to pull out by Bush. For a great first hand account of the 2nd fight read SSG David Bellavia’s harrowing House to House. I get all the more angered as I realize that all that added suffering was completely unnecessary.
