Soldiers wading through a dark, humid swamp of water and bamboo sounds more like Vietnam than Iraq. But these were the conditions soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division's Task Force 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, faced as they submerged themselves up to their necks in water hunting down insurgents in a densely vegetated canal. The soldiers captured eight insurgents and a large weapons cache without firing a shot.

A reminder that while John Edwards is saying the electing Kerry will result in the curing of the sick, the healing of the lame and the raising of the dead, US soldiers are doing the hard work of bringing the enemy to justice!

Good photos as well.

See the smile on that guy's face. They absolutely LOVE this sh*t. Good on you, U.S. Army!
