looking back into ancient history, we find that the Romans were able to maintain control over their massive empire with the numbers of troops they had with one tactic and one tactic alone. If even one of their legions was attacked or killed, the offending town or city was razed to the ground and the earth was salted.

Sounds like Fallujah should become the "salt of the earth" eh?

Kick their A** and take no names Marines and God Speed! Our prayers are with you!

Cheers!

The real problem is that these are pretty green troops. It appears that the attacks were somewhat influenced by the timing of the large troop rotations that have been going on.
