#1 Doubt the Washington Post will mention this in tomorrow's paper. Seems only U.S. casualties are mentioned thus leaving the impression that the enemy does not suffer casualties and setbacks.

#2 ahh, Lovely mental image of our Marines cutting down 7 'vested' AQ SplodeyDopes! ...and destroying two trucks rigged as suicide bombs and additional bomb making materials.

..all in a days work for the Devil Dawgs!

#4 With a son who is a jarhead JO...SEMPER FI!

Soon thereafter, five additional AQI were observed fleeing the area when Marines with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment engaged the group killing all five and causing a suicide vest to detonate.

Sweet justice here on Earth.

#7 My kid finished his six year reserve commitment and was in Iraq two years ago.

I still get misty-eyed when I play the Marines Hymn.

If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scene,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.

Semper Fi!

#8 amen and thanks to your son, Bobby. I sometimes cry during the Star Spangling Banner. My kids say I'm a puss (but never to my face - heh)
