I recently talked to a Marine serving in Iraq. Here's my report.

He said the hardest part is knowing who is who (friend or enemy)because they look alike.

As a result,they shoot everything that moves. Ask questions later.

Also, he said many of the soldiers dying are either older reserves are gung-ho newbies fresh out of bootcamp. He said they tend to get ahead or behind of the platoon and bad things happen.
