Tube Alert: "Shootout: D-Day Fallujah"
Network: History Channel
Date and Time: Tuesday, July 19, 9 p.m. EST

Special Notes: U.S. Marines lead coalition forces into the insurgent infested city of Fallujah, Iraq, in November 2004. With riveting and insightful commentary from the men who sweated and bled on the dusty avenues of Fallujah, this episode highlights the strategies, cutting-edge technologies, and harrowing stories of mortal combat --many told here for the first time -- of the deadliest house-to-house street brawl since the battle for Hue City, Vietnam.

It WAS pretty good, I thought.
A 300 yard shot with a 203, dead onto the balcony where a sniper was.... 'off the hip' no less.

THAT's a :marine: doing the shooting !!

There was some detail left out I thought, considering some of the news reports coming out at the time that I remember.

A 6 Battalion assault on the city;
From west to east, I think I remember that each Army Batt. was flanked by a Marine Batt. As I recall, 2 Marine, 1 Army, 2 Marine, 1 Army.

Some decent re-enactments I thought, but perhaps they left some of the finer details out, for TACTICAL purposes.
