Lance Cpl. Richard A. Maria, a truck driver with Combat Service Support Company
113, guards his cargo - ammunition being rushed to support Operation Vigilant Resolve
in Fallujah, Iraq - while his supply convoy halts momentarily April 6, 2004.
Later that night, the convoy was ambushed by insurgents.
Warriors at work.

If I were that Marine walking along the top of the berm, I think I'd look at this picture and decide never to do it again. He makes a perfect target silhouetted against the sky.

Go guys! My thoughts are with you.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
I really want to tell our guys to keep their heads down. I just cringe when I see a soldier or Marine sticking his body up so far.
I don't want to be an Armchair Ranger but what happened to air support with each convoy?

Add more foliage and you have Vietnam all over again. 8 Marine casualties, trucks burning, trying to supply Marines that are prevented from taking their objective by PC powers that be.
Will we ever learn?

Bump!

I LOVE this photo of "a terrorist captured with tools used to make improvised explosive devices".
Dear God I love our guys, I love our stuff, I love the fact that the Lord has prospered this nation with men and material and the will to fight for the right things, and that He helps us. I do not have the words to express it well enough.

You are well informed on these matters -- why are these convoys going into Indian country without top cover and tanks, and getting caught in surprise ambushes?
I mean, we own the airspace over the entire country! I would think that every convoy would have air and armour looking out for and protecting it.
