You're right. The valiant 82nd Airborne operated around for Fallujah for months and suffered only three KIA.

Of course, they RARELY ever went into the city and mostly sat on their ass, but they were very successful in avoiding casualties. That is very important indeed.

Well, they were there, the oh-so super bad Marine Corps left theater after a few months and just returned to Iraq within the last few months to take over from the dirt darts.

BTW-you're an idiot.

Actually, when the Marines whined about the 82nd, they said their tactics were too rough. Whaaaa...maybe the Corps aint what it used to be.
