      Just looking for first-hand accounts. Do you have any better place to ask for that?

        And what's this buzz about an armistice? An armistice sounds like a better wording of US army begging for mercy? Hope you are OK, Oerdin!
        I've heard of no armistice nor have I seen anything about burning tanks. I have heard the Marines called a halt to offensive opporations in religiously sensitive cities out of respect to the Shi'a Arbaeen holiday. That is only in certain places and as soon as the religious event is over then we will finish rooting out the armed groups in those cities.

          Fine, so keep the heckling and trolling out of it.

          • The "burning tank" that has been referred to isn't an Abrams, it's a LAV that the Marines use that got hit by an RPG. It rattled the crew inside pretty bad.

            • There's apparently been a local cease-fire in Fallujah. So says various mainstream newspaper's webpages, at any rate.

                BBC used the word "truce". Being a non-native in the English language, someone has to explain the difference for me.

                The burning tank was on Swedish TV news. I guessed it broke and was hand-grenaded by its' own crew to keep it from falling into enemy hands, but Ted has other news above. It wasn't an Abrams, but an armoured vehicle, and it was killed by the guerillas.

                    and two others thought they might get cancer from the television waves

                      Loosing initiative might perhaps be a more politically correct term, election year and all. But isn't it really the same thing?

                      • See what I mean? You are TROLLING. It's disrespectful. Start your own damn thread if you want to talk about it.

                        Secondly you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

                        They are letting up because of the religious festival.

                        Once it's over there is going to be hell to pay.

                        Nice try though.

                            • It's ok... a big difference between truce and armistice.

                              Well, after looking up the dictionary, they basically means the same thing. However to a native speaker of English, there are differences in the nuance among those two words that non-native speakers might not catch onto. It happens all the time. A truce tend to be regard more of a temporary situation and limited in its scope than an armistice.

                                There is a difference between a cease fire and a halt to offensive opporations. One you get to fight back when attacked and the other you don't.
