#5 Bravo Zulu, Sgt. Conde!
How can these Idiots with AKs hope to win against esprit and leadership like that?!!!
All the bad guys have accompplished is slowly removing a Marine from the line.
Thus creating a platoon of Marines looking for Payback!

OUTSTANDING!

#7 "Ok, Mahmoud... here's yer AK-47, yer ammo clips, and yer bandanna. Yer all set. Oh, and don't shoot at Sgt Conde."

"I thought you said this was a jihad against the evil US-Zionist oppressor-invaders?"

"Yeah, but Conde will take it personal if you shoot him."

#8 I think I saw Sgt Conde and his squad on the news last night. They were showing a firefight with a Sgt who had pink blood smears from his left shoulder to elbow. He was still fighting and patrolling.

#9 I hope a few bad guys escape Fallujah alive to spread the word about the Marines and the American soldiers and how its a bad idea to underestimate them. Its sad that the US has to prove this every once in a while because everyone thinks were soft, life would be much easier if the bad guys realized that the last poor bastards thought we were soft two and look what happened to them.

"We stayed and fought until every one of the insurgents was dead," Conde said.
Think Al-Jizz will publicize that? Me neither.

Semper fi, Marines - you rule!

#11 The word about Sgt. Conde will get back to Fallujah Australopithecae HQ, with the question, "If God is so great, how come the infidels are such good fighters?"

#12 OOO-FUCKING-RAH!!!

Semper Fi Marines.

I've got a lot of buddies in the Marine Corp, most are still State-side, but itching to go over there and support their comrades!

#13 This is not a surprise to anyone who has ever spent any time around Marines. It starts in boot camp. The amount of drive and determination it takes to finish recruit training turns these young men into something special. They believe they have been called to stand between America and those that would do her harm. They don't say much but they know that, in these perilous times, they are the pride of the nation.

#15 Ima loving a good Lou Diamond Story.

"Hi Dick:
I was on Tulagi in August '42 where Lou Diamond attempted to sink a Jap sub with his 81mm mortar. The tube was setup and range estimated mortar drops in and does not clear the top of tube. Crew checks for obstacle and dumps out Lou's Stach of beer in cans.

Crew setup again and the mortar shell makes a high trac missing sub on right side about ten feet. The sub was rising to the surface when first mortar round misses, then before another round is firedthe sub is descending. The second round hits sub amid shiponly there is about 20 feet of water above ship.

The second round hits sub amid ship only there is
about 20 feet of water above ship. No smokestack, not Guadalcanal. I would ask what month that story was suppose to have taken place.

There was an incident that Edson told at one our "Smoker Party." Edson told about a shavetail Lt. that bitched because Diamond had failed to salut, Edson remarked, hell he doesn't salute me.

#16 "We helped him up so he could get to the corpsman to get bandaged up," McKenzie, a 22 year old from Bonaqua, Tenn. "We made sure to kill the guys who shot him."

The corpsman treated Conde, who only wanted to get his gear and get back to the fight. Conde's Marines were out there and he knew his place was alongside them. "We stayed and fought until every one of the insurgents was dead," Conde said. Before the day was through, 3rd MAP also raided the house of a former Baath Party member and seized a large weapons cache.

Gotta love a story with a happy ending.

#17 Takes a fine country to produce men who fight like that.

#18 Mac, as I have said repeatedly on this site, how can we lose with soldiers and Marines like that?

#19 I'll tell you how we could lose.....If john fucking kerry were president....that's how!

Only BUSH has the balls to see this through. It takes a man who KNOWS what's right, and what's wrong. kerry doesn't have this quality.

Things ARE black and white ......there is no gray. kerry lives in the gray area, BUSH lives in the black and white area.
