Fallujah is no village. 300,000 souls.
I realise that our Marines are some bad-ass mothers, but how are 1200 marines supposed to take a city of 300,000?

We took on the whole of Afghanistan with not many more troops than that. Like there, we are using native forces to supplement our own.
Besides, these are US Marines. I have no doubt whatsoever that even 300 US Marines could take on everything that Fallujah can throw at them, and win handily with few casualties. Our guys are so good compared to the enemy forces in training, equipment, tactics, strategy, coordination, and morale, that a numbers comparison is not valuable.

hey Husk'!
of that 300,000 - you should really be worried about the 90,000 who 1 to 10 years old carrying RPGs.
They will just swarm all over our Marines, right???
Not to worry!
