Saves you time. Saves you money. Makes you smarter.The News Tribune, Tacoma, WA
Military news from the Forward Operating Base of Destiny

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Posted by Mike Gilbert @ 10:12:58 am

The McClatchy mothership's intrepid Leila Fadel had this good take from Sadr City that moved Friday. It features Stryker soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 25 Infantry Division out of Hawaii.

I don't know of any Fort Lewis soldiers working in Sadr City at the moment – and with nearly everybody due home in the next couple months the post probably won't have units in that fight. But Fadel's is a good soldier's eye view of the situation on the ground there.

She also posted some video of soldiers engaged in a firefight.
