Lt. Col. Ricky Brown, the commander of the logistics battalion, gave a pep talk to a supply convoy last week, hinting at operations to come.

"You all are gonna move down there so the BLT (battalion landing team) can go in there and kick some Taliban butt" he said.

Grunts might be returning for the first time in years but Marine wingers have been in Afghanistan on a regular basis since the beginning.

“They hope to retake the 10 percent of Afghanistan the Taliban holds.”

Disgraceful. Its been almost 7 YEARS since 9-11 and not only has the Taliban not been eliminated but they’ve been able to gain control of a signifigant amount of territory?

The Taliban should be getting very nervous and worried.

My son, who was in the 26th MEU, was deployed to Afghanistan just last year.
