I do not know if you keep up with current events, but the Marines are following Lessons Learned by New York Mayor Rudy Juliano on how to clean up a city and make it crime free. In this case, insurgent free.
The 82 Airborne would have few things to say about being first into a war zone.
I don't keep up with current events? I'm not the one who can't spell Giuliani. Moreover, I'm not criticizing the work that's being done. I just don't think that it should be the Marines doing it. I was under the impression that if it wasn't a first strike thing, it wasn't in the Marines' domain.
