82nd Airborne Division headed to Iraq for nine months

http://www.fayobserver.com/military/...9d2a02d95.html

"Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division will deploy this summer to Iraq to join about 1,250 soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team already there to back the U.S.'s intervention against the Islamic State.

About 500 paratroopers from the division headquarters will leave in June for a nine-month deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, Fort Bragg said in a news release........"

So that's almost 2,000 troops just from the 82nd. Sure getting to be a lot of "non-combat/no boots on the ground" folks over there.

Umm.. Didn't 82nd already send a battalion and/or brigade??!!

Sending Ground troops plays into their plan.

I hear they are wearing flip flops as to not have combat boots on the ground and its culturally sensitive

Sunni or Shia is in charge.

I vote Shia.

(Sunni's are the one's that brought down the Twin Trade Towers.)

I also vote no more Americans in the Middle East, just send weapons, ammo and drones. (weapons, ammo and drones, I think that could be some cool lyrics to a song....)

Allow Iran free reign in any-all Middle Eastern countries.

Then stand back and watch the fun.

And the 173rd is going to be jumping into the Ukraine?

It's a busy time for our paratroopers.

So many trip wires... So if Russia decides to absorb the Ukraine who do we have to trade to get our people back?

Remember what happened to the Iraqi nuclear power plant? They were just about finished.......

The Israelis will never ask permission to attack Iran's nuclear plant either, they will wait until just the right time.

We forget their recent incursion into Syria? No one cared.....
