Operation Iraqi Freedom
This thread is dedicated to the brave men and women of the
Armed Forces of the United States of America.
"Wish You Were Here"
For all the free people that still protest.
You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud,
but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die,
We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go through hell.
Corporal Joshua Miles and all the boys from 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines,
Kuwait 3/9/2003

Good Morning.
This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.
It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.
Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help! If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

Imagine what must be going through the minds of the Al Jazeera reporters left in Baghdad?
There aren't any left, if they know what is good for them. They will become tomorrow's mincemeat pie.
To: Dog
I just heard on FOX NEWS that the MOAB bomb is now in Iraq to be used on Iraqi holdouts..BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

No, they are probably still convinced they are doing the Arab world a favor. Tomorrow could be ugly.

At my age, the closest thing my wife will get to a Spec Ops guy is if I take viagra. And have night vision goggles.
To: Howlin; All
Update on my son.He called his wife last night,all well and good.He did lose his CD player and all his CD's and other personal effcts in the attack,he is now riding in the chaplain's vehicle,being towed by a wrecker.They lost alot of their communication equipment,designed to"self destruct"with the help of a match or bic lighter.He said it was kinda hairy and alot of chaos immediatly after the attack but he is okay.Thanks again for all your all's thoughts and prayers at a time when our family needed it most.
