What happens to a jihadist when a grenade lands on his lap in his living room? What happens to the enemy who turns a corner and runs into a pissed-off Marine armed with a SAW? And what happens when U.S. Marines learn that the enemy lured their comrades into a building under the guise of surrendering—and then blew up the building?
The general answer is obvious: mujahedeen die, big time. But the real truth is in the details. We Were One shows you the Battle of Fallujah from a boots-on-the-ground perspective, as Marines faced an enemy like none other. Jihadists would pose as civilians or use children to lure Marines into buildings and alleys, only to launch their own mini-suicide mission. For an Islamic fascist, a one-to-one kill ratio is considered a victory.
