Amazing...The Guardian....second time this week that they've printed something that made sense. I suspect they don't actually understand what the reporter wrote. They think that they're stessing the loss of life..it will work for their agenda..unwillingly, possibly, and unwittingly, most definitely, the reporter has captured the true essence of why these young Marines perform so admirably in battle.."because they hgave each other's back.."

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. I cannot begin to appreciate these fine young men.

On a related topic: There's a USS Guadalcanal, a USS Midway, a USS Belleau Wood, a USS Tarawa, a USS Bataan, a USS Iwo Jima...

Noticing a pattern here...?

I sense a USS Fallujah in our future here...

Fighting in Fallujah and elsewhere in Iraq made November one of the bloodiest months for American forces

Guess they missed the "blood" count of the enemy. Nice job Marines.

Please pray for my nephew, he is one of those Marines in Fallujha.
My brother got a call from him 4 days ago, he's ok, but, almost got his buttucks hit by a bullet while sitting on a metal drum, the bullet hit the drum and banged around in the drum, and stopped at the top of the drum, almost hit him in the butt.
He also was in that convoy 3 weeks ago were those 9 marines were killed by that roadside car bomb by the raghads.

I remember, that's all he ever wanted to be, a UNITED STATES MARINE ,, we were so proud of him graduating.
THE FEW .... THE PROUD .... THE MARINES ....
Once a Marine, always a MARINE ......

SEMPER FI................ They have the best looking uniforms also.
