What a great read!

Thanks,

I was over in Saudi Arabia/ Iraq during operation dessert storm, but it was nothing like what those men are going through now.

yeah I saw that a few days ago. From what Ive read on another forum I think the reporter was SF. I'm interested in getting his book too.

Kurilla and his CSM are some death dealing mofos

I've read the whole August blog and man, it's gut wrenching. Those men are what bravery is all about. The biggest scare I had in op dessert storm was a drive by shooting where a bullet hit my friend in the ear (he was fine), but that was it. These guys over there now deal with so much s***, every friggin day.

Then, to watch that video of those guys beating up those two soliders who just returned from Iraq. They should be sent right into Mosul.

I haven't heard about this. Was this on the blog and I missed it?
