The last Marine battalion in southern Iraq is finally returning home.

NON-UN-ilateral, homecoming soon, ping!

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

Despite intense firefights both in the desert and in the tight constraints of urban settings, the battalion lost no one to hostile fire.

Hey media, where's the quagmire?!

He said they have proved their worth time and again. On March 21, the "First Team" help seized the Az Zubayr oil facility, which produces about 14 percent of the world's oil and will prove critical in supporting the newly freed Iraqi people.

Get a copy of this book:

The March Up - Taking Baghdad with the First Marine Division by Bing West and Ray Smith

It tells this in much greater detail. This multi million dollar facility was to be capture by an NCO, and was taken without the loss of a single Marine.
