"The Marines said they intended to take a softer approach with Fallujah residents, hoping to win popular support."

That was their first mistake. They need to take a much harder approach to those ignorant scumbags.

It doesn’t work

Look at the eastern front the harsher the German methods the more they drove what was a welcoming population into the hands of the partisans.

In North Ireland when we realised that there was no way we could win military and push political ops to the front was when we started to have a success.
