Thanks for the comment on my blog.

Go ARMY!!! 2/7 Cavalry "Gave Em Hell" In Fallujah.Report Drugged Enemy

Regiments live on, though the soldiers die. The infantry, cavalry and artillery regiments of the US Army have some of the most distinguished records of any military force in the history of warfare. In the summer of 2076, American soldiers will still be marching in review to the sound of Garry Owen.

Those who would replace brigades with Units of Action and battalions with Branch Indeterminate Generic Combat Modules seem to have forgotten the value of unit traditions, history, and esprit d' corps.

It's a shame and IMHO a mistake that we may pay for in the long run.

Thanks for the comment on my blog.

You're welcome, it was short but it was late for me. I was sorry to hear about it. Any news yet on the cause of death?

I really have enjoyed reading your blog, like I told you and your wife, you really do write well.

In order to sign up to post I had to start my own blog page. LOL. Heck, I don't have time for the Foxhole much anymore let alone my own blog. I just put a picture on it and called it "The Foxhole".

I think everyone here would enjoy reading your stories so I'm giving you a plug. ;-)

For everyone with access to Fox TV, they are showing a special this Sunday. Their reporter Greg Palkot was with our forces in Fallujah and filmed a one hour special we will make sure we don't miss.

This Sunday at 9 Pacific, Midnight Eastern time.

Units of Action
Branch Indeterminate Generic Combat Modules

Now there's two terms only a military bureaucrat could love.
