I spent an hour on the phone last week with two actual Marines in
Afghanistan with the 4th LAR.

Care to share a synopsis? I'd really like to know how it is going.
4th LAR, what is that, it didn't strike bell in my head?

They haven't updated the page yet.
SgtMaj Cottle and his driver, Lance Cpl. Rick Centanni, were KIA a month
plus ago.
They were both fine men, good Marines and a credit to both their country and
the uniform.

The IED's in Iraq were generally 20 pounders, #40 tops. They are about #100
in Afghanistan.
