That's what my son and his unit is there for, clean up and removal. Still, dangerous area (as you know) so be careful.

You'd have to make a call to the Commander-in-Chief to get that answer.

OP- thank you and come home safe

Good luck and be safe! Can't wait until we get all of our guys home! It's time our fearless leader takes on some of our own problems for once.

Thanks for your service Hopefully we will have completed the mission this time around. If we would have had the chance the first time, maybe this would have been over by 2001 and we would still have the towers. ooh rah

Be safe, take care of yourself and your brothers, and return quickly so we can turn Iraq over to the Iraqi government and be done.

Thanks for your service to our country.

Dittos to all the above from another Veteran. Let us know if you need the Corvette exercised while you are gone. Many of us would be glad to run some high octane through her injectors for ya!

I made it back yesterday and I am glad to report we shall be saving the taxpayers a lot of money. They are in the process of turning Balad(JBB ASP) back over to Iraqi Army/AirForce.
