"How We Sleep" -- Marines in Marjah, Afghanistan

U.S. Marines from Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, stand guard and rest in a post in Marjah, Afghanistan, June 1, 2010. The Marines use such posts to keep better control of the roads and surrounding areas in Marjah. 1/6 deployed in support of the International Security Assistance Force December 2009, and returned home July 2010. Video by Marine Cpl. Charles T. Mabry II.

    Being an admin Marine, I give mad respect to the grunts. I gotta buddy with 2/9 who got back in early March from Aghan, heard a few stories. I always pray for my fellow Marines in harms way, even while everyone else is bitching about a 10 hr work day, traffic, clothes, etc. I also notice how if anyone has a problem with Marines they say it on the damn internet and never to our f***ing face.

    @11kungfu11 Well..This isnt a battle between soldiers...It's insurgents, and if they pick up a weapon and fire it at innocent civilians and soldiers that are training/helping the afghanistan military...They are in the wrong. I don't think you understand how the situation is, and their service is to keep innocent people safe. I'm not trying to pick a fight, just wondering what your reasons are for saying this. Also, America wasnt the only country that participated.
