Marines surrounded at Al Asad?

[IHaveAMustang]

Are there lots of buildings they could draw them into and CQB them into paradise?

Good Ole Chesty.

While on duty in Hawaii and inspecting the armory, Puller fined himself $100 for accidentally discharging a .45 caliber pistol indoors, although the charge for his men was only $20.

Just drop a squad of Army Rangers in if the Marines need a little help. War ain't supposed to be fair.

In all seriousness, my prayers are with those Marines - hope they receive support needed and otherwise repel those fuckers.

I just heard that they are normally there, but not right now. Also, there was a failed suicide bomb attempt. (On the radio, no link)

[KBScobravert]

You may not know this but those Marines are happier than pigs in shit right now.

Looks like there was a probing already:

Expect a large complex attack involving them hitting the ECPS to draw forces then indirect fire to put heads down and harass and bracket, followed by vbied to the perimeters to breach and infiltrate all the while being supported by fire to draw resources while infiltration force moves further in.

The Marines will kill them.

This. I just hope they have adequate equipment so that they don't have to work too hard doing it.

More than likely too late for that.

Had a buddy get back in from this area recently and basically said the conditions have been like this for a while, just not publicized. He also said that the nameless grunt unit there is just itchin to get some, especially with the amount of IDF they've been getting.

While the Marines will get some
And dominate I am concerned with the paperweight at the helm of the ship not giving these boys help when the time comes.
