"Captain Xuan Tran" - This guy's name looks very familiar. I thinks he's the army chaplain that was in several news stories a few weeks ago. The stories were about him baptizing soldiers in the Tigris River.

In any case, these boys have got some serious moxy, the kind that puts Jihadis to shame.

The Arab Times? Is this an American paper? It's a wonderful story either way.

No, Arab Times is Kuwait-based (which I suppose explains why they don't usually seem too anti-American).

X - these guys KNOW to WHOM they are committed! Yea! Though they walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death - they will fear no evil because HE is with them; HIS Rod (Teyth) and HIS Staff (Aleph, Beyth, Giymel and Daleth) comfort (bring them SHALOM) them (because they KNOW that GOD has not given them a spirit of fear, but of POWER and LOVE and a SOUND MIND! HalleluJAH!

Ping your swarm....they will love this article.

This is Stonewall Jackson believing that no one's taking him out until God's good and ready.

A letter from his eight-year-old daughter inspires the commander.
Dear Dad, hope you kill the bad guys. Love, Patricia.’


Who wouldn't want a daughter like that?
Oh, I guess most Democrats...

This is a breathtaking article. Thank you for the post and the ping.

Your average American soldier in post-war Iraq may want better food, more rest time and above all to go home, but the infantrymen out on night patrol in Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit have only one wish - to get shot at. The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Regiment swear they have divine protection and say the easiest place to be attacked is in what they call ‘RPG alley.’

US troops and Iraqis taking out the enemy together. Protected by prayer, ping.
