Stories of Heroism You Should KnowThe battle for Falluja has been one of the most impressive victories ever won by a joint force. It has also been one of the most bloodless (for the victors) urban fights in modern history. You won't hear the stories of our soldiers' and Marines' heroism much on the news, because frankly the mainstream media have their own agenda, and many of today's journalists do not consider themselves to be American journalists, but journalists who happen to be in America. In any case, you should read some of the first-hand accounts. Our troops are doing an amazing job in incredibly difficult circumstances, and deserve all possible appreciation and gratitude.

Yet they bowed to groupthink pressure and kept up pretenses. ...Many of my generation, the career captains, majors, and lieutenant colonels seasoned in that war, vowed that when our turn came to call the shots, we would not quietly acquiesce in halfhearted warfare for half-baked reasons that the American people could not understand." Colin Powell
