Man, Cav troopers are the most resourceful guys in the Army, IHMO. Every time I read about 2d ACR, I long for the days wearing the Toujours Pret on my shoulder. I wish them all the best, as well as the rest of our troops. God bless 'em all!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! Toujours Pret!

You're most welcome, snippy. Today was a good news day.

Did you read Pikamax's posts from the Iraqi press?

8 Iraqi entrepreneurs to launch 24 hour tv channel ~ Iraq Press  | 9/17/03

They're fed up with the "doom and gloom" of Arab and Western TV and want to bring joy to Iraq! *g*

It appears we have need for a chain of CavMarts in Iraq.

I see happy. (^:

The store may exist for soldiers’ convenience, but it also helps Iraqis, said translator Isameel Al Saffer, one of the store’s primary suppliers. The store resells Iraqi crafts and artwork made by local artisans. That puts money back into the re-emerging Iraqi economy.

But we are despised by Iraqis who wish our immediate departure.

Media=opposite of truth.
