Davo, if I mock you for going over the top with your exaggeration that this Fallujah campaign really IS as dangerous and important as those battles you cited, it seems to me that you bring such criticism upon yourself by doing that wild hype.

You were just about to defend your statment and explain how dangerous this campaign is compared to Iwo, where we suffered how many THOUSANDS of OUR killed and wounded taking over only a few square miles of island, and the defenders had no where to go but dying for the emperor. Iwo was just as dangerous as Fallujah?

If you really agree with yourself that this offensive is as dangerous as those battles you mentioned, I'm sorry, but you deserved it.

But it's charming that you mentioned Napolean after first citing Stalingrad. Are you a fan of combining Russian winters with military campaigns? If so, you could check out Hans von Luck's Panzer Commander, its a quick read, and you get his coverage of Rommell/Afrika to boot.

Hey, it's a pleasure conversing with you.
