Just so you know. Soldiers are not in Fallujah. Marines are! Marines from the 1 Marine Expenditionary Force (1MEF).
Soon to be replace by the 2MEF out of Camp Lejeune.

I pray my nephew who is with the 2nd Battalion 2nd Marine Regiment (from camp Lejeune attached to 1MEF california),
is safely in the newly named Baghdad Int airport at this point. His Battalion was stationed just south of Baghdad, and during this deployment he also was in one of the four camps in Fallujah area, when all hell broke lose in April.
They are supposed to fly out of the combat zone over the next week or so. At any rate, sir or mam, 2/2 has removed quite a few hundred terroists and local malcontents during the last seven months. And those main 1MEF have removed thousands less to harm our men and women and those innocent Iraqi's waiting for a taste of real freedom and democracy.

Semper Fi to your Marine...and God's blessing on all of the Marines and soldiers, and all standing in harms way to support them.

Please read this fictional study as an answer to the radical stongholds standing in between the people of OIraq and their liberty.
