My Marine neighbor confirms white phosphorous used in Falluja

He said it was used for "marking targets". It gives off a lot of smoke. Sometimes it hits the enemy, he says. He was there.

2. And .50 cals are used for destroying vehicles.
And in the course of aiming at vehicles, sometimes the enemy runs into the line of fire and gets hit.
