Good 'boots on the ground' story. It's easy to be a critic when you're sitting in the US in your warm (or cool) home all comfy and snug.

Many newspapers tried to write about a humanitarian nightmare and starving Fallujans; all of that rhetoric was complete BS. Although there are very few structures that were undamaged, the number of civilians killed numbers less than 20.

Syringes and vials of pain killers and adrenalin have been found in the Muj's home; the natural supposition is that the Muj were taking them before going into battle. There are many reports that the Muj who had been shot were seen getting up and attacking again and again. Corpsmen were reporting that the types of drugs used would have allowed the Muj to feel absolutely no effects from a gunshot wound.

Moreover, there were incidents of Muj feigning death and then popping up and shooting at our forces. One such incident led to the death of a Marine and the injury of several others just the day before the killing of that Muj on tape.

Go read the whole thing.
