A short article on recent events in Iraq: a section (troop size) of USMC M777 has been in action supporting local Iraqi forces, and was attacked itself; some casualties including KIA SSgt Louis Cardin
Officials are not calling the firebase a Combat Outpost though, because it is behind the FLOT, even though a more recent attack was by small arms fire

The lawyers truly are magnificent.  Merely by defining war - they have eliminated war.  Equally, they seem to be on their way to performing the same magic with combat.

Winston Smith would be truly impressed.

Unfortunately, unfortunates seem to keep dying from unknown causes.
