Go Army! To everyone in the 82d -- you've done a great job!
``We'll get good support from the community around Ft. Bragg, but among the general public I think it will be a mixed reception because a lot of people didn't support the war,'' Baker said.
I think Sgt. Baker has underestimated the support for the troops and all they've accomplished. When she returns I hope she'll get a sense for how grateful the whole nation feels for the service of our troops.

When the war began, the division was poised to parachute into Baghdad if Saddam's regime collapsed suddenly. Instead, it protected supply lines and rooted out resistance bypassed by the main attacking units.!
Wow, I haven't seen this anywhere before! Was that supposed to be part of the "shock and awe" strategy?

Anybody have any idea (based on experience or news releases, not inside info) how long the 82d will have a presence in Iraq & Afghanistan? I am supposed to PCS to Bragg in March and am trying to figure out of there's any chance I might get the chance to be sent overseas immediately.
