Did you hear the female marines after hearing what Murtha said. They called him an out dated traitor and are ashamed he is in the congress. They are discussed with him and said they wouldn't serve with him. This women are heros so don't put them down bytch This article is a year and half old. I can only imagine what the Marines are thinking now. You and your female Marines are a joke. For Marines, a Frustrating Fight Some in Iraq Question How and Why War Is Being Waged By Steve Fainaru Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, October 10, 2004; Page A01 ISKANDARIYAH, Iraq -- Scrawled on the helmet of Lance Cpl. Carlos Perez are the letters FDNY. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York, the Pentagon and western Pennsylvania, Perez quit school, left his job as a firefighter in Long Island, N.Y., and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. "To be honest, I just wanted to take revenge," said Perez, 20. Now, two months into a seven-month combat tour in Iraq, Perez said he sees little connection between the events of Sept. 11 and the war he is fighting. Instead, he said, he is increasingly disillusioned by a conflict whose origins remain unclear and frustrated by the timidity of U.S. forces against a mostly faceless enemy. "Sometimes I see no reason why we're here," Perez said. "First of all, you cannot engage as many times as we want to. Second of all, we're looking for an enemy that's not there. The only way to do it is go house to house until we get out of here." continued.............. washingtonpost.com
