Thanks for the thread and the ping. The Belmont Club has a good analysis on the Fallujah operation.

From your Belmont link:

"I got myself a real juicy target," shouted Sgt James Anyett, peering through the thermal sight of a Long Range Acquisition System (LRAS) mounted on one of Phantom's Humvees. "Prepare to copy that 89089226. Direction 202 degrees. Range 950 metres. I got five motherf****** in a building with weapons." A dozen loud booms rattle the sky and smoke rose as mortars rained down on the co-ordinates the sergeant had given. "Yeah," he yelled. "Battle Damage Assessment - nothing. Building's gone. I got my kills, I'm coming down. I just love my job."

These guys are into it. After having been held back and occasionally picked off by eids etc, they finally get to open a can and their enemies are paying the fiddler.
