Fallujah post-mortem
Some Marine units moved through Fallujah in November with Arabic translators. The infantrymen wanted to be able to eavesdrop on the terrorists' radio net.
A Marine told us that, roughly translated, one terrorist was heard to say: "We are fighting. But the Marines keep coming. We are shooting, but the Marines won't stop."
The Marines, backed by Army tanks, captured Fallujah in 11 days and with it the last large base for Abu Musab Zarqawi.

These guys don't learn very fast. The Barbary Pirates were the first Muzzies to be taught that lesson, but it apparently didn't sink in very well for the long run.

It would take more than a 7.62 mm round to his protective vest to keep the 22-year-old San Antonio, Texas, native, a rifleman with 2nd Squad, 3rd Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, from fighting.

As someone who supports the USMC this makes me glad. Resistance is futile.

I said it before our Troops went into that hell hole and I'll say it again.
These fascist murdering bastards had know idea of the size of the can of whoop-ass they opened up. Well they found out soon enough...the hard way.
May God continue to Bless & Protect our Troops as they bring the fight to the Enemies of Freedom.

Wait till they see the marines with prosthetic limbs returning to the battlefield.

It's okay, We could tell them exactly how we were gonna kick their tail, and they'd still manage to get their 70 virgins (err grapes)... Besides the islamists really are dumber than they look if they don't realize the great eye is always watching.
Cheers,

Others? China, Korea (several times), England, France, Spain, Nigargua, Haiti, Panama, The Philippines, Lybia (the shores of Tripoli), Genada, the Confederates States of America, Algeria....
Something that terror supporting states should keep in mind.

I know! We know some who intend to do it in one way or the other.

If Clinton had allowed that in Somolia, 9-11 would never have happened. Clinton's weakness was perceived by our enemies as America's weakness. Enemies are currently reassessing that perception.

Remember a few years back when some Clinton stooge - some female with DOD - made some statement at a dinner party that the Marines were not bright or some other kind of disparaging remark. I think she was forced to resign. Anyone else remember that? I had some Marine buddies when I was in the Navy and we would joke around and such. But for all the jokes and kidding, I would rather have them watching my back then these liberal hacks that take comfortable pot shots at them.

I of course am proud to be a Marine and could never be or have been anything else.
However, its nice to know that the flyboys are up there keeping the other guys flyboys off our backs. We all serve our purpose.
Still its more satisfying than I can say to know that we Marines strike so much fear and horror into the hearts of America's enemies.
