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.

Great work by alert, thinking soldiers.
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.

Our military people are truly the best in the world.
As each terror cell disappears in Iraq, the MSM is going to find it more difficult to generate bad news.

What amazes me is the "marinization" of the Army: calling an Army unit as 2-1 or Two-One instead of Second of the First. The Marine Corps has used such a nomenclature for years; that is, 2-1 is the Second Battalion, First Marine Regiment.
Looks like the Army is finally getting smart.

A couple of years ago I was worried that the Stryker vehicle would not serve the Army well.
I was wrong. It has served well, very well indeed.

Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team have been bringing down some big names in the terrorist organization al-Qaida. The 2-1 is stationed mainly in Mosul and have captured more than 180 suspected terrorists in the nearly three months since the brigade left Alaska. Lt. Col. Charles Webster, commander of the 2-1, spoke with reporters Thursday from Iraq and described a recent operation that he said crippled an al-Qaida cell in Mosul.
Stryker and GNFI ping!

You don't win wars by chasing down suspects in hospitals. That is the job for policemen. What a waste of our fighting men's talent. Hundreds of billions of dollars and we are chasing down Mohammad in hospital visiting lists.
Politically correct "warfare" is a losing proposition.
