(Based on an old Civil War Poem,from the Confederate side)

In Fallujah, where we fell,
there nothing grows.
Between the ruins,row on row
a marked disgrace.
And in the sky the vultures,squawking,darkly fly,
scarce heard amid the dust below.
 
We are the dead.
Short days ago we lived and thrived, saw sunrise glow,
loved,embraced, and now we lie
in Fallujah,where we fell.
 
We took the quarrel to the foe!
to them from ghostly hands we threw the curse of pure defeat,yes,that we cried...
And those who did not leave
did surely die.
We never sleep, where nothing grows,
in Fallujah, where we fell.

  • The good name of the Marines cannot be reclaimed. The morally bankrupt officer corps needs to be cashiered for brainwashing the young fighters into entering a moral wasteland. The Marines are now brainwashed, murderous, zombie killers.

    • ...you have to blame it on the school system and the family education, too. The "we can do" attitude has been driven to far.
      Watch the French Legion in combat, this are professionals with brain and guts. If they kill civilians, they don’t call "collateral" the report it and face degration or punishment.

    • I bet if the islamic facists had a knife to your throat you would pray for a few good marines to appear.

    • The only reason they would have a knife to my (or your ) throat is the same reason I would put a knife to their throat ---to defend my country from invasion . And since fascists invade countries , that makes us Christofascists .

    • I bet if some islamic facists had a knife at my throat, it would be because some sick bastard in the United States marines had raped their wife, murdered their children, and destroyed their way of life.

  • The murdering bastards in the marines are all BTK personalities looking for an outlet....why would anyone normal go to a foreign country that has never done one thing to the U.S. armed with guns bombs and rockets if not to kill innocent people? The Iraqi people want the U.S. out of their country NOW....80% want us gone....we keep reporting how they now have a democracy, so if that were true, what the hell are we still doing there? They hate us, and for good reasons, we have destroyed their country, murdered their families, and made their lives hell all so we could steal their only resource and do the bidding of Israel.

  • I wasn’t at Fallujah, but came across this disturbing article that seems to say it was a set-up that started with the false-flag murder of American soldiers to get them to mistakenly retaliate against Iraqis. You can check it out and decide for yourselves at:
