Twenty or thirty years from now there will be a host of movies celebrating the US military, but the corrupted minds of the Michael Moore fans in the creative and executive offices of Hollywood can not conceive of this now.

The battle of Fallujah was yet another astounding military success, as was last year’s invasion of Iraq, and this was the genuine urban warfare that was prophesized to be so deadly to US forces ever since 2003. It didn’t work out that way; indeed, the kill ratio appears to continue to be historically lopsided: 30 to 1, 50 to 1 or thereabouts.

The muj had slaughterhouses, great caches of weapons masquerading as Red Cross facilities, IED’s everywhere, and fighters in the thousands, and they were totally wiped out in a few days through a combination of high tech warfare and classic urban assault techniques featuring very brave and skilled Americans doing the world’s most dangerous job.

And all our thought leaders in the Old Media want to talk and fret about is a Marine double tapping some SOL jihadi using a mosque as a battlement for attacking US troops. Iraqis, including the Prime Minister, are happy to see the human detritus dead and gone. Not so the Chicken Lickens on the home front.

Sad to say, but that story is the one Hollywood wants to make. We’ll have to wait a generation to see the heroes of today.
