Man, I am glad they surfaced. 3/2 had fallen off the face of the earth since Halloween. Good OPSEC. They will more than likely be in Kuwait about two weeks, then road march north. I would love to see that convoy roll into Fallujah. Hope they have some journalists embedded with them. Young Sergeant Heckler needs a history lesson.

A friend of ours is one of the Company Commanders. We'll see his folks Thanksgiving weekend. He's already in our prayers.

A Stryker with a LOSAT package could easily defeat an M1-A2 Abrams -- provided Stryker got first shot.

I'm going to assume that those wheels are puncture and bullet proof... right?

And since LOSAT out-ranges a tank gun, LOSAT will always have the first shot.

2 "run flat" tires on each side. The others aren't. Limps at a few mph if it has to use just those.

Right. Because terrain has been outlawed. (So only outlaws have terrain...)

A bunch of maggot infested Not in Our Name scum are holding an anti-American rally this Saturday at Madigan Hospital that is part of the Fort Lewis military campus. They'' be protesting the arrival of the Washington State National Guard 82nd Brigade as they prepare for deployment. Follow link to Fort Lewis Protest. http://www.notinourname-seattle.net/

This has infuriated the sane people of the area. The 2 local conservative radio stations KVI & KTTH are co/sponsoring along with Operation Support The Troops organization a counter-rally. It's gonna be hugh! The last time this happened over 3000 good guys showed up and the NION pukes went back home and dropped some acid, man.

To hell with those who would be so evil as to try and demean the morale of us, our sons, daughters, and neighbors that put our Country first.
