American Soldier

Found a blog being published by a young trooper in Iraq. Of course this may lead to the end of his writing, but so far he is still on the internet.

I will go out on a limb and because this is my forum, I will say that I agree with what they did....They said the vehicles were deadline. That means that they are not suppose to leave the motorpool (garage), unless a commander signs off on it...When you are strolling down a MSR in Iraq, you don't want to break down. You don't want to even stop; hell you would rather take a piss in a Gatorade bottle [than] stop! Link

The story is getting legs, as they say, thanks to the alphabet networks. They are trying not to politicize the thing, of course, because the election is only a few days off.
Right.
