Great Military Stories
Here is a post from a soldier that has come home.
Then Major K noticed the press actually got something right.
I also witnessed another very amazing thing on this trip. The Vets were handing out their personal cell phones to any Marine or Sailor that would take them with the offer to call absolutely anyone they wanted. This was their own dime, their own air time, and they were giving it away so the returning Marines and Sailors could call home and let everyone know they had arrived in the States safely. Absolutely AMAZING! I'd never heard of such a thing. On top of the reception and food itself, that was just the perfect end to a combat deployment and something I'm sure many Vets would agree was unheard of just a few short decades ago.Stand proud America, this is how our soldiers should be treated -- Good Job!
Then Major K noticed the press actually got something right.
Between daily bombing and body count reports, that are considered the only things newsworthy here, someone in the media actually noticed that Haifa Street is no longer arhabi turf. After a large shakedown by US and Iraqi forces, the Iraqi Army, which had formerly been afraid to go there, now roams it freely.As well as the press getting it right, it should be noted our military did very, very well.
