You may recall this was the site of a major Marine offensive back in 2004.  One of my drill instructors at OCS saw action in Fallujah.  After 4500 dead, a trillion dollars and the destruction of the Christian community, all we have to show for our invasion is the capture of major cities by our sworn enemies.  Maybe we can send in some female Marines to recapture the city, as long as it doesn’t require heavy lifting or scaling walls.  I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
