3/7...The Cutting Edge. These dudes exist solely to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but they lost all their bubble gum wading ashore at Guadalcanal in 1942 and have been mostly just kicking ass since then: 16 Medal of Honor recipients and a whole chest full of unit citations since WW2.
Semper Fi...Carry On.

Why the fuck are they so clustered together and in the open? We train to push into a near ambush, not lie down and take it. Blows my mind.

@ParkwayDrive1976 Probably because of mines and IEDs. Taliban never utilize small arms fire unless they have something to show for it.

@Yugo_Ley Maybe down south where most marines are, but up north near Uzbekistan those boys don't fuck around. We only had five IEDs detonate against my platoon and found just a few more than that. Instead they utilize complex ambushes and PKMs and RPGs. They don't fuck around up north, they stand and fight.

@ParkwayDrive1976 I agree, fight through the ambush and get out of the kill zone

@Jeff Veraart Exactly. I don't get why they went prone in the open shoulder to shoulder. Absolutely retarded.

@Mikey-D Because someone has to have the guts to spot for the unit.

@Mikey-D Because someone has to lead the charge of real men in battle against a bunch of coward muslims that want to shoot and then hide behind women and children. How many peoples lives did he save by telling his troops that then enemy went and hid in a home that wasn't part of the fire fight and to redirect to their fire towards the other fleeing pedophiles.

Taliban have no chance. They have never won a single battle face to face...instead they set up booby traps and slaughter civilians like cattle.
