OK - enough already with 3/5. Yes they took a lot of casualties, but their losses were no more or less significant than any other unit. Why is it that the media can't think of anything to report on except how many Americans got wounded or killed in the war, and the more casualties the more the ccoverage? Hello - is there anything else going on? Answer: yes, a helluva lot. 3/5 went into Sangin, they kicked Taliban #%@ and they came home. I for one will not allow their legacy to be reduced to "most casualties" by the media. Dark Horse deserves better.

Semper Fi. When the mission is difficult, send the Army, when the mission is impossible, send the Marines!
