Must see TV: Marines Battle for Fallujah. On right now.

Tape this and watch it the next time you think you had a tough day at work.

Now these guys are good. What a shot with the launcher

Don't need to tape. I had 13 months of that kind of experience already, in Nam with the 1st MARDIV..

Thanks for your service. Know any reasons we seem to be asking our marines to fight seventh century, hand to hand in these $hit holes? Don't we know how to carpet bomb anymore---Dresden comes to mind. Are we doing this war on the cheap? Frankly, I'm still waiting for "shock and awe." Should have leveled Fallugah the first time we went in.

[ThreePuttinDude]

What a great segment that was.

Kudos to the History Channel.

Thanks for the heads up. Just watched it. Don't know how they re-created this, but it was magnificent footage of magnificent fighters.

Afghanistan on now. Bump to prouddvldog.

I'm still waiting for "shock and awe."

That makes two of us. I'm still pi$$ed that they made us change the name of the offensive from "Infinite Justice", because the mudslimes claimed it was disrespectful to Islam.

I can't shake how mad I am about that one.

Know any reasons we seem to be asking our (M)arines to be fighting in the seventh century, hand to hand in these $hitholes?

Because they're so good at it?

Should have leveled Fallugah the first time we went in.

The bottom line in Fallujah: 90 Marines killed, 2,000 enemy killed, and a good-sized city freed from the grips of the terrorists.

No, we didn't need to level the city.

BTW mods, thanks for the thread title correction.

There is a certain drum beat, with the riots in france the drum beat seems louder and fast.

Amazing how the press use to bitch about not having access in the past, now that they have embedded reporters they report very little about what is going on.

[robomurph]

Thanks for the heads up. I caught about half of it.

Great show

[notfornothing]

I keep thinking that too. It's like Mark Levin says - we've got those big beautiful bombers just sitting there gathering dust while we send our sons and daughters in to risk their lives so some two-bit mosque doesn't get damaged. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Adorno - you guys in 'Nam are all heroes just like our boys serving today are.

A RECENT LETTER FROM FALLUJAH: http://www.marinecorpsmoms.com/ Here's a must read from the American Courage Newsletter. It's written by a civilian employee who is in Fallujah, working with Marines.

Sorry, you lost me. Ninety marines is ninety too many.

I hear ya. We only get small snippets.

Our Marine doesn't have a TV but I hope his brother is watching.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Hope your Marine is safe... The courage of all these guys is amazing!

90 Marines to 90 less the PinkoDems could complain about.

What is the current number of dead? ~2024-90=1934..

The pinkos would still be waiting for their party!
