Sergeants are RTO's?
Probably another embed with little knowledge or experience.
Trust me; if your RTO is dead, you know it.

I'd like to see photos of where the mosques used to be.

"Nothing here makes sense, but the Americans' superior training and firepower eventually seem to prevail."
Superior American training and firepower prevailing makes perfect sense.

"The marines turned and fired, and killed four of them immediately, blowing one man's head entirely away before he fell on his back onto the pavement, his arms spread wide."
Wish I could see that on video.

Amen!
To: saquin
Other news reports reflect comments to the effect that the Marines have moved faster and gained more ground that hoped for in the opening hours - resistance lighter than expected
Whereas the NYT speaks of fighting tooth and nail for every inch???
God Bless the Marines - but I have to believe that the NYT is leaning in the wrong direction as usual - recall that they had us loosing the initial invasion into Iraq.

"The confusion was such that at one point, a tank fired a phosphorous round that rained down on the American troops, breaking into a hundred flaming pieces and burning backpacks and gear but seriously hurting no one."

Amazing... God bless our troops.

Slow and easy guys. The object is to kill them not yourself.
To: Trippin
This pains me to no end that a mosque from whence enemy are firing is valued more than the lives of our Marines. I'm so mad I could spit.
