Popcorn....you think you are going to have that long to pop it? Just better hope that the boys in our camo who are still going to be there have enough ammo and vehicles to put up a fight with after they get through sending it all back to Kuwait and Afghanistan.

Guys, there are still 50,000+ troops in Iraq.

It's all a name game. My son-in-law's Brigade just arrived there in late July. Within a week, he had earned another combat patch for engaging in a fire fight with insurgents. His MRAP came under fire from a building while on patrol and they returned fire, dispatching two bad guys to enjoy their virgins.


Patch ceremony...

His Brigade is listed as a support unit. He's a member of 2-11th Field Artillery Regiment. They left their artillery in Hawaii. Unlike the unit that just departed, they are not equipped with Strikers. However, that doesn't mean that they are not in danger or not involved in combat.
