Iraq War 2: USMC Screws-up Iraq Invasion: Nasiriyah FUBAR Part 3a

Undeniable proof that modern, mechanized warfare is too much for the USMC which should be disbanded for criminal incompetence and negligence of planet earth and the enemy:

Total clusterfuck (CF) of 75% wheeled trucks unable to go cross-country to avoid enemy ambushes

Ad hoc USMC CF never training all together at once until war; too busy goofing off on weekends in southern California to properly use 29 Palms desert training area; surprise that their radios didnt work under pressure?

Bloated, too-heavy amtracks get stuck in mud; USMC buying even larger, defective EFV amtracks trying to pack in too many gyrenes at one-time; INTERNAL fuel tanks

No Cavalry in light tracks to find enemy and determine routes look-before-you-stumble into a FUBAR

No smokescreens to blind enemy gunners in buildings coming from either the amtracks or artillery or mortars; lazy dumbasses tried to drive past the Iraqi rearguards; anyone read a map and anticipate possible enemy actions? No town bypass or town clearance TTP

Complete... and utter... CLUSTERFUCK.

I thought LAV-25s and AAV-7s were supposed to be AMPHIBIOUS --- so why the hell didn't they just swim around Nasiriyah?

What kind of mother fucking stupid son of a bitch ordered these guys to just go into the town on the fucking MAIN ROAD! What stupid shit gave such a fucking stupid order?! Hell, even someone with no fucking experience in combat at all wouldn't do something so fucking STUPID! The stupid SOB who was responsible for this should be brought to trial! Hey, and for the whole world to see a video of the stupidity of our military? That's really going to help us a lot!
