Four U.S. soldiers were killed on Thursday in Anbar province. "Three
Marines and one sailor assigned to Regimental Combat Team 7 died
Thursday from wounds sustained due to enemy action while operating in Al
Anbar Province," the U.S. military said in a statement. Sailors are
normally attached to Marine units as medics.
Within the last six months the army has decided not to disclose all
the particulars on these ambushes. But if I were in these units, I would
want to know if any Israeli advisors knew the routes, or were in the
motor pools.
