I agree with mrmonsoon it is true that we are not at war with Iraq

Maybe not in a declared war but US soldiers are being killed almost everyday by people from Iraq. Call it what you like but to deceive 18 year old kids is immoral and discusting. So to say we are not at war is denying reality.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
The US Marine Corps has an infantry and it's MOS is 0311. All Marines are trained as basic infantrymen before they receive any other MOS training. Every MOS in the Marine Corps has one basic function and that is to support the infantry.
Without the infantry there would be no Marine Corps.
The reputation of the Corps is written in the blood of Marine infantrymen and the popular image of the Corps is that of the Marine infantrymen.
