I do not now, nor will I ever, trust CNN.
Why is the title "Anvil of God"?
I hope this is not CNN's way of calling this a religious war, not idelogical one.
Any chance the left can paint any one western religious, they do, IMHO
Dear Amanda,
Your piece will most likely be a anti -U.S military ,jihad sympathizing,CNN smear-tacular.I’ll pass.
Best,

More CNN crap... I'm not aware of anyone who had the slightest hope that Fallujah would be a 96 hour battle.
POP, will she do them justice?
Thanks for the post and ping.
Let’s hope, even a stopped clock is right twice a day! :)
They could all line up, place their lips on the hind quarters of every Marine boot coming out of San Diego and I still wouldn't waste the effort to punch in the channel number for CNN.
I will wait and get the story from of my former classmates in the 1/8 next time we get together and remember how brave and bad we used to be.
For the record, CNNABCCBSNBCMSNBCMTV are on the "skip channel" as far as the cable and TV are concerned. If I could block them at the cable from even getting in the house I'd do it.
maybe one of these days we'll get that option and put the libs completely out of business.
To all on this page: USMCPOP(thank you), Ladies, Gentlemen, and Family members,
Thank you for your continued support on the effort in Iraq and other places that we so willingly go for the pursuit of freedom. I am Sgt Douglas Gilland. I was a Team Leader in Iraq and the film that is going to be shown is on my unit 1/8. I was in Bavo Co. 1st Plt. I was hit by an enemy grenade and had to be Evacuated out. But those are and were good men that were over there...some of which I still keep in contact with. The bottom line is that we signed up to do this so that others would not have to. So please respect the fact that the world will not know why we do what we do on a daily basis to protect the ones we love, family we have, and a place to come home to. I would gladly take the fight to the enemy so that others (i.e. my children) would not have to fight in their own back yards
So no I myself will be at home not watching but having a moment of silence for my best friends and brothers who fought and died beside me. As you read this please do not miss interpret what I am saying..I am nothing special. you would have done the same thing put in the same situation. but these were better men than me who gave their lives in the line of duty.
In Closing, Those who oppose the war and the military can down play the war, They can have their own narrow minded op pinon on what should happen, but they can never pass judgement on how this event unfolded. And what ever the view that is film was recorded from...I can only hope that they know the Marines that were and are over there... want to be right there and no were else.
Please keep an open mind about this film and enjoy it as a piece of history. Thank you all for your time and sorry for taking up so much space. God Bless you and the Military.
just curious as to when they are finally going to air this special. my husbands brother was one of the 1/8 marines that was shot and killed. we are interested in taping this special when it finally airs. could you please let us know when it will be airing.
