After reading the article aboutthis Marine report this just hit me. We lost. WE LOST? How in the hell could we have lost?

After all that we learned from the Vietnam debacle, after the huge overhauling of the US military since then, after massive amounts of money to create the single greatest military force ever imagined we still lost?

How can that be? My country doesn't LOSE. We are it we are #1 we are the only one left standing-How is this possible?

We lost.

If we really have no hope of clearly out one province in western Iraq what hope is there? What kind of bullshit is this? WE LOST??? We are openly negotiating with terrorists (at least alSadr was bad guy numbero uno) hell they left a soldier behind!! What in the hell is THIS?

I am just flabbergasted. I am just in a bit of shock.

Yes we told everyone this wouldn't work. We told everyone how bad of an idea this was. Yes experts said that we would "walk away with our tail between our legs" but I never really thought we would completely lose.

How could you possibly lose with THAT TEAM on your side (the US military). That is ridiculous. They can do anything, they can adjust to anything, they can adapt to anything and you still lost this thing??

All that and we lost??

I can't get my head around this.


I can't imagine there will be any embassy rooftop footage from Iraq but then I never really thought this would happen either.

We lost.
