Quote from this blogger: Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Operation Cobra, is not a marathon, it is a WAR!!!! It is not a game where people "fight" There is no fighting in Iraq. if you have ever been hit with a 5.56mm NATO round or a 7.62mm AK round you know that it is not fighting. If you have ever had your head blown off while standing in line to get a job as a cop or had your bowels blown out while driving a water truck to a forward observation point you know there is no fighting. There is only soldiers and people alive and soldiers and people dead and a lot of both that are in transtion from the former to the latter.
