Its Infantry and Armor,Army and Marines!When you come under fire its combat.Yes you are proud of your branch of service but getting the most casualties because of a battle its not a source of pride.I lost a freind in 2005.I have cousins in the Marine Infantry and Im an Infantryman who was in Iraq in 2006 to 08.Im lucky my 2 Marine cousins fought hard in An Bar and survived without being killed or wounded.

al-Fallujah was taken by the United States Military. End of story.

@hardcorelifeforus000 - oh ok, cus i was told by my brother who was in the 101st airborne that the marines were the main force and the army was the supporting force, especially since the army was at the time taking ramadi

@MrUnclesam666 Marines did most of the fighting, lost most of the men and get most of the credit for the battle.. Army did do some fighting and cover though

[hardcorelifeforus000]

@MrPelhambay No first time it was a small assault, few battalions of Marines and Army, we lost the city and then U.S Marines came in and were the first to actually go in and start the assault. Army was involved in the second but they came in late, they did fight in Fallujah though just not as much as the Marines did. mostly Calvary and vehicle support of course without that the operation would've been risky and deadly.

@hardcorelifeforus000 - i thought it was marines the first time then 82nd airborne came in with the marines again

[vtecdynasty]

@hardcorelifeforus000 They did kick ass. But i think the Army was also involved in the second battle of Fallujah in 2004 Nov.

[hardcorelifeforus000]

There were 2 fights in Fallujah, first the Army and Marines went in and we held it for a while then lost it.. 2nd operation was Full Marines no army, they took and kicked ass.. then the army came in with calvary and provided heavy cover.. and no i am not lying these are facts. Semper Fi!

But nevertheless Marines have had heavy fightings in Fallujah, too!

[Calvin8076]

They conquered Fallujah in order to hold the position as long as the USMC takes to tighten up
