I returned in September 2003 to a radically different Baghdad. During the first week, four months after the end of "Major Combat Operations", I was drawn into a massive firefight in downtown Baghdad. Later, a soldier would comment with a grin, "We call this minor combat".

The emails and the Sat phones helped them stay in touch with family, but all the technology in the world couldn't bring them home.

Thanks PE. Moving story.
