It's a Qennedy quagmire ...
A failed Bush war plan ...
This can't be true.
Well done Colonel. Keep up the good work! Alaska and America are very proud of all of your guys and the hard work you are doing for our country.
I couldn't help but admire how the truth has been shutting the mouths of the naysayers.
Senator Kennedy already has the blood of millions -- Vietnamese, Loas and Cambodians -- on his hands, if not on his conscience. Unlike his brother John, he has never seen a tyrant he couldn't embrace. Americans should remember that after Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 Kennedy sent Senator John Tunney to Moscow as his personal envoy to talk with the Kremlin, and with KGB participants, informing them that he and his party could handle the newly-elected warmonger.
And 2-1 Infantry was also the first unit I was assigned to in the Army. A long, long time ago. Semper Primus--Always First.
The 2-1 of the 172nd Strykers is my nephew's unit. I am so proud of these fine troops.
Thanks for posting this article.
Maybe Monster Garage should do a week in Mosul.

I was thinking more of an up armored and gunned fleet of Lancer Evolutions. You know there would be volunters.
God Bless him. They're kicking butt in a difficult part of Iraq.
The Second Battalion of the U.S. Army's First Infantry Regiment has a long & storied history (obviously). Way back when (and maybe still), newly assigned soldiers had to go through an orientation that included an NCO showing the unit colors with dozens of battle streamers and being told a couple centuries worth of unit history.
When they come back from Iraq, your nephew will be there when they attach yet another battle streamer to those colors--one that he helped earn. And he can be proud to know that his streamer will be up there next to those earned by 2-1 soldiers at Lundy's Lane & the Battle of New Orleans on up thru Vicksburg, the Phillippine Insurrection, WWII, and Vietnam.
I like that too.
As each terror cell disappears in Iraq, the MSM is going to find it more difficult to generate bad news.
Ted Kennedy has a sign taped to his back. It says "FOOL".
Or copy some of those old B movies that showed the heroes on specially designed dirt-bikes with rocket launchers and machine guns.
Good old-fashioned Yankee ingenuity is what we need.
Me too. As well as PIMP MY ABRAMS
Yep, now if the Jars would only learn how to roll up sleeves correctly. ;>)
I'm willing to concede that the soldiers know how to roll up their sleeves. It is, after all, a simple thing. If only they knew what to do after their sleeves are rolled up.
It wouldn't really matter if these were American Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, or Airmen the job would get done.
