Anytime soldiers die the military takes it seriously and makes a big deal out of it. Is 500,000 in Fallujah considered a medium sized city? I'm from a town of 15,000 so that seems like a large city. The uprising was in more than one city, Fallujah, Kut, Basra, Ramadi, Najaf, Baghdad, Karbala, al-Sadr's Mehdi Army was incontrol of Najaf with the coalition left on the outskirts so this was hardly a medium sized city uprising as you put it, I mean the US didn't take the Viet Cong seriously until Tet maybe this is a wake up call.
