After pounding the door three times, the Marine's officer gave the nod. Two powerful kicks later, the wooden door splintered and Marines rushed into the dimly lit room Army CWO David Williams and the six other prisoners of war were being held. So they weren't let off by the side of the road?! Wow.

This is a great story. I am so pumped to know about how well our POWs and their Marine rescuers acted. I am also thrilled to know that our soldiers weren't mistreated or tortured. This very welcome fact needs to be emphasized. Not all Iraquis are brutal thugs, as this and many other heart-warming stories have shown. In the interest of good future relations, we need to let this be widely known.

Great story!
p.s. The five enlisted soldiers were assigned to the Army's 507th Maintenance Battalion out of Fort Hood, Texas.
It's Fort Bliss.
