Without on-call air assets tasked to this unit, it’s a sitting duck against the Iraqi army. This could be Xenophon redux:

Except Xenophon’s Ten Thousand was well-equipped to deal with just about any armed force they might encounter. 100 Marines are a drop in the bucket in the event the balloon goes up and they have to exit the country. I gotta ask - why haven’t they left country, given the apparent hostility of the Shiite-dominated Iraqi government to their presence?

Moronic. You thinkm
A: That they have no air assets involved.
B: that a full company of Marineinfantry in a defensive position is a sitting duck for the Iraqi army.

Both are laughable.

LOL, go back to gaming.
