First and foremost - thank you to these brave men, may they RIP.

This story, however, is crap.

One squad being "lost" does not decimate a Company of Marines (or the Army). Tragic, yes.

Oh, BTW - Admin Guy - can you fix the "Source" for this - should be NBC4iNews - NOT the WAPO!

We're at war…All the papers say
We will win…I read today
We are strong…It wasn't us
We are right…Who started this

Leave your work…I just left school
Leave your home…I am no fool
Take up arms…It left me strong
Sound alarms…The school bell rings


Join up here…I wave good-bye
We need you…Oh my breast sighs
Have no fear…Now I must try
God will be…With braver men
Take the vow…I know it's right
Praise the flag…The good fight
We're at war…I'm on my way
We will win…Why do I pray


I wait here in this hole
Playing poker with my soul
I hold the rifle close to me
It lights the way to keep me free

If I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
If I die and still come home
Lay me where the rose is sown

Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever
