You see the young soldiers washed up like driftwood at Baghdad's international airport, waiting to go on leave or returning to their units, sleeping on their body armour on floors and in the dust.

Such putrid BS! When I go over to BIAP, I see no such thing.

Good thing that both these “reporters” and the soldiers they’re reporting on weren’t slogging up the Italian boot in 1944. Then they’d know what fatigue is...

Thanks. Thanks to all who have served, are serving, or will serve in the future. America’s finest.

What a load this whole article is!! The media just spews a bunch of fiction and the sad thing is, a lot of sheeple buy right into it.

I'm doing the BIAP thing in a couple of days, headed out on a brief R&R. (W'hoooo!) I'll make sure I keep an eye out for all of that "driftwood." Not that I've ever seen anything like what is described here in all of the times I've been through there.

Good freakin' grief.
