The Marines were taking part in Operation Matador, an offensive against insurgents and foreign fighters in northwestern Iraq near the Syrian border.
Eleanor Roosevelt's Wartime Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Lest I continue
My complacent way,
Help me to remember that somewhere,
Somehow out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war,
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?

I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
