The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Fuel + Fire

I've heard the first part of this sentiment expressed before, but never with this particular conclusion...

In Fallujah, enlisted marines have complained to an officer of my acquaintance: "There's nobody to shoot here, sir. If it's just going to be building schools and hospitals, that's what the Army is for, isn't it?"
I'm not sure if Mr Ledeen realizes such a comment could easily reignite war in Iraq.

It would be a war between the US Army and US Marines - the two most
powerful fighting forces in the history of the world.

It would be fun. And ugly.

It would be fugly.
