But in this video you never see the marines getting shot at, so i highty doubt this was in fact a heavy gun battle. They were probably better off just leaving this house of the search gird you here later in the vid, but procedure is procedure even if all they find is a couple of scared villagers. Soilders should fight other soildeirs, kill for what they belive in, and try to make it home for those who still care about them, but instead there in iraq.

You all realize that no return fire was seen in this video against the US right? It seemed to me they were just using suppresing fire to keep the enemy frightened. And the lmg gunner in the beginning firing out the window was aiming at an odd angle. Looking at the streets from the res of the video and looking at the angle of his gun was firing, he was probably hitting the dirt outside the enemy building, showing them thier fire power and keeping them suppresed, the enem is most likely too scared

@mark12130 That's the point. There is no real reason, just greedy old corrupted politicians. As long as government has too many levels (federal/state/city) there will be corruption. Just the same as with one individual with too much power. Therefor Democracy in large proportions contradicts itself, due to the fact that more power is taken from the people; until they decide they've had enough bullshit, and take out anyone who stands in the way of their freedom.

@Stuhnned I know that but they dont have no reason to attack them like iraq,afghanastan,libya and other countrys or nations
