#3 I feel a sense of the Soviet/Souk, best to have lotsa stuff, lots and lots... antiquated shotguns? I saw some of those 120 mm mortar rounds, I'd blown them in place... rusty looking.

#4 This is looking like the WWII Pacific campaign. Island by island.

#6 The thing that I find remarkable is how our forces went into Fallujah and cleaned out the place with minimum casualties without reducing the whole town to rubble. Take a look at Grozeny in Chechnya with the Russian Army. Heavy casualties, both military and civilian, and total destruction. Our forces are truly remarkable and professional.

#7 Thank God these morons don't have the training, unit cohesion, and discipline of our fine servicemen and women. This could have been a lot tougher and uglier otherwise. Our professional military: one more thing to be thankful for today!

#8 without reducing the whole town to rubble

Any empty buildings should have been reduced to just that, IMO.

#9 At least, every Fallujah mosque used by the terrorists should be razed & its site covered with a foot of reinforced concrete. Visit Fallujah -- lots of free parking!

#10 Alaska Paul: Our forces are truly remarkable and professional.

Extraordinary indeed. Is there any institution in our society that is as competent, flexible, well-led, meritocratic and progressive, disciplined, and has more integrity than our professional military?

Think about it: the Church is a disgrace. The MSM and academia have become a joke. The lawyers are as rotten as they ever were, and medicine is demoralized and in retreat. There simply is no institution that comes close to the military for professionalism, competence and integrity. Awesome and wondrous to behold.
