“By then Marja had flipped to Taliban control. The place was as dangerous as it had ever been, and maybe more so. The American government was again debating what to do about Afghanistan. Many of the Marines from Kilo Company were civilians. Some wondered why they had been asked to do what they had done. Questions lingered, too, including about the HIMARS strike on Valentine’s Day, which the Corps never bothered to explain to the young men left to clean up.

Niall Swider, who was shot in the first days of the fighting, remembered the pre-assault pep talks from the generals, the sell. It was as if the brass had decided before the operation that Marja was to take its place beside Tarawa, the Chosin Reservoir, and Hue—a battle to be recorded as institutional legend. Forever you will be known as Marja Marines, they had said.

Many units passed through the same fields. The Taliban outlasted them all and reasserted its primacy when the Corps drew down. Except for abandoned outposts that stood over the fields where Marines like Currier and Hanson had died, and for the loss of Afghan civilians killed by errant fire, the place was little changed. What changed was the Marine Corps’ enthusiasm for the place. Swider said that when so-called Marja Marines mentioned their campaign, senior Marines “told you to shut the fuck up.”

Neff took an accommodating view. He accepted that the Marja push had not been a strategic success. He kept his thoughts on his platoon, a group of tough grunts he had come to know only because another officer was arrested for driving drunk. They fought hard and looked out for one another. As he saw it, that was all a grunt could do. Higher-ups had failed. They had not. He was proud.”
