To read about talibans killed is always good news, and congrats to the Marines.
But IBAF, you still a dumb asshole able to compare two uncomparable events. As said Caz, it's 2 different places, surely more effective air support etc...
By the way the French section which was ambushed did a great job, killed about 40 talibans but paid a very heavy price.

Maybe the US soldiers that abandonned the afghan outpost after 9 of their comrads died in july 2008 are twats compared to the soldiers of your article???
