He said that the militias that were fighting them turned in their weapons and decided they didnt want to die, but would rather watch their families grow.
That reason alone, my friend, is how this war will end.
They see that there is HOPE to watch "their families grow".
Before, this hope of a future in Iraq, any future anywhere was not in place.
Thanks for the “braying”. Enjoyed the post.
Please give your neighbor our thanks!
It would be great if the reporter mentioned in the post would come forward and tell her story to a news outlet that would publicize it. Unbelievable (not!) that she would be fired for telling the TRUTH!
Also - can’t help but point out that it was John McCain’s strategy that is working in Iraq! Let’s get him nominated & elected! I know you might not agree with him on EVERYTHING, but is there a perfect candidate?? I apologize for mentioning politics under this post, but every time I hear about the successes in Iraq, I am reminded of McCain’s correctness in this endeavor - hope y’all are too!
Our good fighters up around Ramadi and Fallujah are getting mighty bored these days. ;-)
Amen to VICTORY.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story.
Exactly.
If we win the WOT, Vietnam will dump its last vestiges of communism and come fully into the free world.
If we lose, nothing else will matter.
Great story of our Marines in Ramadi.
bray, THIS IS AN AWESOME account. GREAT job...
I share the feelings and concerns of this young Marine. I saw what my generation did to returning Vietnam Vets, and I said nothing, did nothing. Many years ago, I resolved that if given as similar situation, I would not sit idly by and let it happen again...thankfully, as the GOE last March showed, there are a lot of Americans who feel the same way.
God Bless and protect these men and women serving, and let us make them proud of what they are doing and have done, as they rightfully should be.
This was a GREAT thread you posted!
Amen!
Thank God for the truth.
Thanks for posting this!
You should send this to Glenn Beck.
Do the Iraqi police and soldiers still wear face masks? It really annoys me that the media have opted out of reporting the war.
"You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media were definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields." ~ Gen. Giap, NVA referring to the Tet Offensive, 1968

I have always though that that is what really scares the left most of all. They are afraid that if we win in Iraq questions will be reopened about the Vietnam war. They are right to be afraid.
