It's time somebody freakin pounded sand! Drop the ROE, forget about the whiners that will scream, and freakin lets go. As the old saying goes, "Kill them all, Let God sort them out" comes to mind right about now. My DIV will deploy next year to replace a DIV that is there currently, if it ain't fixed by then, you will surely read about it then.
Now for the rest of you that think a moderen day soldier should stay deployed as long as his folks think he should. What is the temperature there on the ground? When is the last time you took a shower, when do you think they had their last shower? What did you have for dinner? If they were lucky they had a T-Rat, if not, just another day of MRE's x 3! When was the last time you walked 20 KM with 22lbs of Kevlar body armor on, a weapon, enough water to survive the patrol, basic load of ammo, and etc.. gear??? Thats what I thought. So, get off your duff and get to talking to your politicans, bring our soldiers home! Why are they sending more troops to Liberia? Have them stick to there answers.
Grendal- Your statement is incoorect. I will enlighten you. It was not a soldier that raised that flag, it was a Marine, thinking of Iowa Jimo no doubt. But we were not to conquer Iraq, only destroy it's militia!
If everybody knew how well one assissination team worked, then there would be no reconcilliation. There could only be secret missions. And the media would be clueless. Think what you want of our "Media filled failures" but ask yourself, how many times have we been successful, and where are those who did not make headline news?
