There’s now hundreds of stories on the Haditha Marines. 99% of them are retreads of each other. It’s hard to keep up with the posts on this thread, let alone the news. So freema, jazusamo, pinkpanther111, smoothsailing, and I have a plan.
Rather than posting new threads that aren’t front page worthy, we’re going to use this as a main thread and post new information here.
If something big breaks, naturally that’ll get posted as an entirely new thread. Otherwise, we’ll send out Summary Pings like this one every couple/few days.
So here are some of the recently posted highlights on this thread you might otherwise miss.
