It seems like ISAF and the ANA are still on the outskirts of Marja and fighting is starting to get more and more fierce. When troops do get in Marja will this turn into a Fallujah? If it does will the Marines knowledge gained from Phanton Fury be useful at all (i.e. room to room and building to building) and how would this be conducted with a multinational force?

Please pardon my ignorance for the questions above.

From what I've seen so far,The locals seem to be helping quite a bit. Letting them know where explosives are and such.

Unlike Iraq Afghanistans want to stop the fighting that has plagued thier country for the better part of a century. People are getting tired and the Taliban are losing thier grip on the civilians they threaten and torture.

Whatever approach they take, they'd better bring forth the destruction and the chaos. We've been "soft handing" the Taliban for a few years now, and the Surge strategy that's worked for Iraq may not work in A'stan.
