Second Battle of Fallujah
Yesterday in 2004, #Marines launched the Second Battle of Fallujah, also known as Operation Phantom Fury.
For more than six weeks, Marines and Soldiers fought alongside coalition partners to clear the city of insurgents.
The street-to-street and house-to-house fighting was some of the most intense combat of the Iraq War, and led to acts of exceptional courage by Marines and Soldiers.
Nine Marines were awarded the Navy Cross for their heroism, and U.S. Army Staff Sergeant David Bellavia received the Medal of Honor.

Uncle of mine who was a Navy Corpsman participated in the battle, was awarded a purple heart after he received multiple shrapnel wounds from an IED, and was commended for giving medical attention to a comrade while under fire. He died 3 months ago in a cement truck crash. Truck rolled over and that was it. He had to take the job after spending most of his adult life serving, found that VA pensions fell well short of making ends meet. Never forget that while the man next to you may give his very life to keep you safe, the brass up top will fuck you the first chance they see.

I don't understand , I'm not from US and whenever I spoke to US vets they told me they had a pension that it's enough for them to live , but then I read histories like your uncle's and I don't know what to believe , is it this bad for vets in US in general?

God, I want to forget those days. It was as if every house, in that city was booby-trapped. The majority of our company suffered some type of injury. We had a corrupt commander and a cowardice XO. The only way they would allow someone to be medi-vac, was for them to be bleeding from a gunshot wound. We had soldiers that had been shot and badly bruised, with possible broken ribs and they were forced to "carry-on". The majority of us, had shrapnel and/or head injuries from the well-hidden bombs.
lives lost for no reason. God bless those that served and their families for their loss

My tank company supported RCT-7. We, along with our sister tank company supporting RCT-5 went through so much tank main gun ammo they were flying it in direct from the manufacturing plant. Ammo's cheap, Marines are expensive. It was humbling to watch those grunts go, and pride knowing that as long as an infantry company in 1/8 crossed LD each time with tanks they took no KIA. Why the army units there supporting the Marines got the Presidential Unit Citation but not the Marines is still a mystery.

Er. The Army were fighting at Fallujah (never heard of Sgt. David Bellavia, 1st Infantry Division? He was awarded the MoH - would you tell him he had it easy?)... also the US Army have done the lion's share of the fighting in literally all of America's wars lmao, how could the Marines have been "protecting" them when they weren't even present a lot of the time? World War II for example. There were zero USMC combat formations in the ETO (war against Germany/Italy). No US Marines landed at Sicily, Salerno, or especially Normandy (the largest amphibious assault in history) or fought in the Battle of the Bulge, Hurtgen Forest, North Africa, etc. They were all US Army (in terms of American troops obviously, not forgetting the Allies). The Army did the lion's share of the fighting in the PTO (war against Japan) too. They were in all the USMC island hopping battles except for Tarawa and usually comprised around half of the American ground forces - hitting the beaches simultaneously with the Marines. In fact, the Army (77th Infantry Division) landed in Okinawa before the Marines. That's in addition to liberating the Philippines (where there were very few Marines) and New Guinea. You've also probably never heard of the Aleutian Islands campaign, or Merrill's Marauders and the Burma Campaign. Again, no USMC presence. Fun fact: The Army carried out more amphibious operations than the USMC in WW2. So what were you saying about the Army having it easy again? The most decorated combat units are in the US Army, not the USMC. Both in terms of unit decorations (e.g. Presidential Unit Citations) and individual awards such as the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross (= Navy Cross), Silver Star, etc.
@MG-wk2eh
Жыл бұрын
The USMC are the superfluous branch of the US military who rely on propaganda - I mean good PR - to keep themselves from either being disbanded or drastically reduced and folded into the Navy/Army. Their raison detre (amphibious assault) is obsolete in modern warfare. The Army has both sustained land warfare operations and expeditionary warfare covered - and CIA SAC & SOCOM has special operations covered. It's dudes in the Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Rangers, Delta Force, etc that get all the high speed missions now.
The Army was right there in the thick of it too. Don't forget it.
