I want to know some recent information about the Marine Corps Special
Operations Command Detachment One. I know all the information that was
released when the unit was activated and what weapons they have been
buying. This includes the press release in Leatherneck Magazine, the
Globalsecurity.org page on their structure and training, and the
Soldier of Fortune article a couple of years back.  I want to know
what they have been doing in Iraq for the
past year and what the future plans for the unit might be. Everything
is pretty murky surrounding their actual activities.
Thanks.

Write a letter to the president.  He knows all the latest and greatest info. 

tsk tsk

Firstly I am not an american citizen, nor do I live in america, but I
have many reliable sources such as uncles that are marines.

   When my uncles came back from Iraq they told us many of the stories
of the war. The tales were mostly horrible ones of suicide bombers and
ambushes. Fortunately both of my uncles survived the war with only
minor injuries.

   Anyway the marines are trying to stop the rebelling in Iraq and
take the tyrants off their thrones. Many say that that Bush is trying
to get oil for himself in the US but that is a minor reason compared
their wanting to save the lives of the Iraqi citizens. Yes they have
had to kill some innocent Iraqis in the war, those that were caught in
the crossfire and those that were caught up as soldiers for the
tyrants. But mostly they are just trying to restore order in the
war-stricken country.

   As for weapons the marines are using the adapted TF29-B, reletively
cheap and easy to use. Also each marine has a 6 inch long combat
knife, some bulletproof material covering their torsos in the front
and each equipped with 500 bullets.

   That is the best that I can answer your question and I wouldn't
suggest that you email the president as he would probably not answer
your question.

   Yours truly,
