The article I researched focused on how the marines would prefer to move their forces out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. This would mean that the Army would be transported to fight the Iraq war while the Marines would take over for the Army and handle the situation in Afghanistan. U.S. officials agree that this tactic would be more effective for both forces as it continues to fight against terrorists. As of October 11th 2007 there was no Marine troops in Afghanistan and there were about 26,000 Marines in Iraq. This idea of bringing Marines into Afghanistan would relieve the pressure on the Army. Also, the Marines are more of a lethal force when it comes to combat and air force showing no mercy to the enemy.

The youtube video that I found was a very interesting video. It displayed the U.S. Marines Air Force at work. It shows a great montage of various shots of U.S. aircrafts over Iraq, all this happening to the tune of “Liberate” by the rock band, Disturbed. Also, the video shows us some U.S. forces fighting not only in the air but on the ground as well. This video although short and high in intensity, brings the viewer into the real world of what life is like in Iraq for U.S. forces fighting the battle for all Americans.
