This is probably the first year I have not thought about Fallujah in November. The three sons of Mr NEMDF and myself all were there in USMC.
“Never leave a Marine behind” —I guess it’s just for the MEN, not the leadership, huh? Reading this I’m pretty disappointed in the USMC.
It SOUNDS like they get your really vigorous years from the men, then more or less look for a way of getting out of paying for their retirement by drumming them out of the corps.
This is the FIRST time I’ve EVER thought anything bad about the leadership of the USMC.
This former Army officer proudly salutes all these fine Marines.
“he left his duty station to save a family member from domestic violence”
...Stokes had to make a difficult and emotional decision. The character of these men is indescribable. I pity the guy who was committing the violence.
Thanks for the link.
So does this ex-bus driver.
Big thanks to you all for your service!
My son was in Fallujah-1 in April of that year. He and his 10th Mountain battalion were attached to a Marine unit then. Don't remember which one.
I pray every day that we do.
“They patrol every day in the forlorn hope of protecting an Afghan population that often doesn’t want protection. At times the Afghans actively plant mines that make every step potentially lethal.”
Can we get the hell out of there already? Nation building will not work. They’ve been savages for thousands of years and will continue to be regardless of this country’s sacrifices.
Where do we get these men from? Humbled by their sacrifice.
I just watched it. Thanks a lot, Doogle!
