Awesome post.

Better yet, nuke the whole city. Or if that's too politically incorrect, fire bomb it like Dresden.

A serious sledgehammer response is the only way to stop future occurrences like Falluja or Mogadishu.

Fallujah . . . is that French? No doubt they're using French arms (in which case, we should have this wrapped up by week's end).

Did you write this?

>Yet the defenders will be operating on a steadily diminishing energy budget . . .

When military
people use phrases like this,
it makes me worry.

[Dog]

Fyi..

[EternalHope]

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

[jackbill]

Not to be too picky, but I believe that the operation is called "Vigilant Resolve", not "Valiant Resolve".

Please be sure those who leave are innocents., Allow no escape for the enemy, Flatten the Damned place, Remember 14 year olds here are as dangerous as the adults.

Thanks. I was reading while you pinged me. Excellent piece of work. Who wrote this?

[leadpenny]

You around, Dave?

I think one of our own....wretchard.

fyi..

[leadpenny]

I would describe it as the art and science of a siege.

[Thud]

It's not a serious operation. No U.S. Army engineer brigades, D-9's, concrete mixers, asphalt trucks, paving machines or privates with paint brushes to mark the parking spaces - just Marines.

Other armies' urban combat doctrines involve removing the enemy from the urban terrain. The U.S. Army, on the other hand, knows the way to win is to remove the urban terrain.
