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.

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.

Because they're so good at it?

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.

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.
