Thank you *SO* much for posting this! It made me cry my heart out. I have friends (Corpsmen, in fact) that I spoke with right after they came home from Tal Afar and told us of the horrible situation and the FIGHTING! OMG - I've not heard of such brutal fighting since hand to hands with Charlie in the 60s.

The 3rd ACR and 4th ID are my Heroes of the Army - LONG MAY THEY FIGHT! VICTORY!!!!

I reposted this on Ryze where a Brit said it choked him up because this city is the burial place of Biblical Jonah and was saved by Christians.
