Segment begins with yet another typical lying, malignant narcissist, marine trying to excuse away FAILURE for not finding Saddam with chest-beating about fighting--when 80 marines were wounded and 1 killed due to their own stupidity against mere light resistance.
Thus, Iraq Nation-State War 2 ends, but quickly degrades into a Sub-National Conflict (SNC) instead of a peace—primarily due to USMC anti-mechanized warfare incompetence that let Saddam and his subordinates to escape to start a rebellion against us. Adding to this, the Iraqi Army that did as we requested and didnt fight---that we didnt bother to rehire to quickly restore order. In Grenada and Panama, we rehired the local Soldiers who chose to back a new government of the people and by the people—and peace rapidly followed. In Iraq, we ousted Saddam to create an illegitimate government--by the American contractors and for the greedy contractors--to make Bush neocon favorites rich. Military bureaucrats also racketeered to expand their budgets and personnel end strengths by occupying Iraq with 158, 000 men/women in bloated FOBs running presence patrols in wheeled trucks full of light infantry narcissists--who dont have to do much beyond clean their rifle, do PT and eat chow. The rebellion grew in the face of the obnoxious U.S. presence and responds by blowing up the stupid Americans in their wheeled trucks with land mines.

Current 2009 cost: 4, 236 dead, over 26, 000 wounded, $1 TRILLION wasted and the American economy in shambles—thanks to Army incompetence for not closing off Saddams escape routes by 3D maneuver by parachuting in the 173rd Airborne Brigade with M113 Gavin light tanks

and crappy 2D maneuver by the incompetent truck-bound USMC being 6 days late reaching their assigned sector in east Baghdad. Not rehiring the Iraqi Army as promised sealed the U.S. strategic failure as a clusterfuck.
Why is the USMC so incompetent and at the same time so arrogant?

Add STUPID to the list. When you are incompetent, boasting is a defense mechanism to hide it.
