The radio crackled with a report from a scouting party. About 45 Iraqi soldiers had approached as if to surrender, then raised their weapons. The scouts killed them. So basically, in spite of our setbacks, a cavalry scout outfit--that is probably only supposed to do route recon and security and avoid directly engaging the enemy if possible--wiped out, in a single meeting, twice the number of soldiers we have lost to the Iraqis?
Wow, that really gives me "second thoughts" about this war. Not.

Thatnks for the post. I would love to see a pic of the bunny strapped on top - that would be "priceless." :-)

They are part of the armored portion of the brigade, dubbed Team Heavy Metal, more than 70 M1-A1 Abrams tanks and 60 Bradley fighting vehicles, leading the way. More than 2,000 support vehicles - Team Rock and Roll - would follow. Good post. Thanks. Mud, our guys rock!
