this is going swell isn't it?....


CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq - An Iraqi soldier was fatally wounded during an altercation with a Marine at a post at the Fallujah Government Center Dec. 30.

The Marine, assigned to 1st Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, has been assigned to administrative duties.

The Iraqi soldier was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division.

The Marines and Iraqi soldiers from both units have manned combined security posts since arrival of the Marine unit several months ago.

"Marines and Iraqis from the two units continue to live, eat, and fight alongside each other," said Coalition spokesman Marine Lt.

Col. Bryan Salas. "This will not impact our mission to continue the transition of the security responsibility to the Iraqi Army."

or how will the Iraqi and US soldiers ever be able to trust one another?
