There is more to this war that what's shown on television say Marines who coordinate logistics. Many of the viewers back home see only the fighting, so they don't understand all the work that's put in behind the scenes. They get upset when they hear people talking like this war is over. They can't even think about going home.

For the first time since they arrived here, Marines can walk around without gas masks attached to their hip. They are now required to have it within a 10 minute reach. Many still choose to buckle it around their waist or over their shoulder though, some feel naked without it.
