Falluja

According to this story by the BBC, the troups seem pretty psyched to go kick some Falluja ass.

But for the highly-professional marines, Falluja is also a return to the simplicity of combat after the complexities of peacekeeping and an enemy that never shows itself.

"The marines that I have had wounded over the past five months have been attacked by a faceless enemy," said Colonel Brandl.

"But the enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He lives in Falluja. And we're going to destroy him."

Ed got it right (and I thank him for the original citation):
Who says it's not a crusade?
