CAMP PENDLETON – Rifle at the ready, Marine Pvt. Justin Woodward trod carefully down the final steps of a stairwell and swung into a foyer.
His blue eyes widened as he registered "the enemy" flattened against the foyer wall. He hesitated, and the other fighter fired first.
Bam. Fresh from boot camp, 19-year-old Woodward learned the foremost lesson of urban warfare: The enemy can be anywhere.
It's not Baghdad, but it might be soon.
