Last American Soldiers Leave Iraq
(Guest post by LC Draco)
It is with mixed feelings that I hear this story. Having spent my time in the combat zone (as has Mr. Aggie), this move is bittersweet. First, it means our boys and girls in uniform will not be maimed or killed in Iraq. Second, it also means there is a vacuum, sure to be filled by Shiite’s with leanings toward Iran. (When I was in Iraq several years ago, there were certain groups that did not want us to leave…ever.)

And let us not forget the Kurds up north who want their own country. Why is that important…think Turkey, and I am not talking about the Thanksgiving bird! Turkey has already been running raids into northern Iraq, and the Kurds are some of the most bad ass fighters I have ever served with in combat. The Arabs…not so much.
Operation Moniker
I have to admit: naming military operations can be decidedly tricky. Some, like Operation Desert Storm sound majestic and pretty much sum up the purpose of the campaign. Others, like Operation Menu (which was the bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War) bear no relation to the actual campaign, and fall very short of being a good descriptor. There are some that take description of the operation way too far, like Russia’s Operation Forcing Georgia to Peace, which as we all know was total bullshit anyway, and should have been named Operation Push Georgia Into Defending Itself. Commie bastards….
Anyway, in the days following the attacks of 9/11, Neal Boortz was talking about the coming war, and the possible names of the operations that would be talking place. The names that were being bandied about fell short in Hubby’s estimation:
Me: Well, what would you call it, then?
Hubby: I would call it Operation Smoking Crater. Or if you want subtle, Operation Desert Glass.
Me: Ooooh… much better.
Names should strike as much fear as the actual physical operation, in my humble opinion. I want the terrorists to have a bowel movement when they hear something like Operation Killemall. Or better yet, Operation Moms Are Pissed.
What operation names can you come up with?? 
Robin Sage Is About to Begin!
(Guest post by LC Draco)
Most people do not know or have heard about Robin Sage. It is THE end and THE beginning of a Special Forces soldier’s life. The end because it is the culminating exercise and the beginning, because then you get assigned to a group and a team. There have been deaths to SF soldiers during this exercise due to miscommunications with local law enforcement. Hence the notice and coordination being done now. This is also a reason why you would have to be an IDIOT to try and invade North Carolina!!!
This is a video from the 2009 Robin Sage:

The New Civility, Part MCLXVIII
I have to admit, I am really enjoying the Occupy-Wall-Street-But-Over-At-Zucotti-Park protests. I am happy about them for two main reasons. First, they have every right to exercise their freedom of assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. I find it hialrious that they are addressing Wall Street instead of Pennsylvania Avenue, but it’s their right. Second, by protesting, they reveal their true colors. For instance, take a look at this video:
Calling for a violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie. That’s just one clip. Now take what happened to our blogger friend, Snarky Basterd. Snarky has a Twitter account, and this is what he got as a response from an OWS protester:
If you had doubts about the so-called peaceful protest, they should be gone now. This is a threat of physical harm to any and all people of not just a certain “race”, but those who actually differ in opinion from the protester. Stalin talked this way. Mao talked this way. Hitler probably didn’t. He let his minions do the talking. But the really psychopathic thing of it all, is the protester himself. Not long after Snarky spread the tweet around, @MrHortonscycles changed his moniker. Like any female, I was overcome with curiosity, so I traced him to his new moniker, and found this:
Yes, he misspelled the “socialist” part. He claims that Twitter didn’t allow for that many characters, oblivious to the fact that he did use all the letters in the word, just in the wrong order. I laughed at first, because he has threats posted to pretty much everyone who calls him out. But then I sobered up to the fact that this guy actually believes he doesn’t say threatening things. That is far more dangerous, because he has no morals to guide his reasoning. His ilk will be happy to lay waste to anyone who gets in his way, as long as he gets his way. What he doesn’t understand is, he is the fodder the Left will use to get their way. He is nothing but a useful, idiotic, sacrificial sheep to the altar of Marxism.
He doesn’t seem to grasp that we are getting ready. We will not back down. And our version of “gun control” is to hit center mass.
Thanks also to Conservative Hideout 2.0 for the call to arms, as it were 
In Remembrance
In honor of those who have died protecting our liberties.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
For the brave men and women who died while in service to this great country.

I’ve watched a couple of this guy’s videos and I really like the way he makes his points.
Bin Laden Dead
Image creatively borrowed from Ace.
From Fox News:
Usama bin Laden is dead, multiple sources confirm to Fox News.
President Obama is expected to deliver a statement from the White House Sunday night to discuss the major development.
Sources said bin Laden was killed by a U.S. bomb a week ago. The U.S. had been waiting for the results of a DNA test to confirm his identity.
The announcement comes nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks which started a tireless hunt for the terrorist mastermind and Al Qaeda leader.
Update [ArmedGeek]:
Osama Bin Laden was asked to surrender by US troops before he was shot dead, Fox News is quoting intelligence sources as saying.
The terrorist leader had always said he would not be captured alive.
Bin Laden was shot dead during a raid by US ground troops on a compound in Pakistan. His body was captured by the Americans.
The troops landed in four helicopters. One of the helicopters suffered mechanical failure and was destroyed by the Americans. However none of the American soldiers were killed.
One of Bin Laden’s sons was also killed in
the operation.
An adult son of bin Laden, and a woman used as human shield, were also killed in operation, according to NBC, which reported that two helicopters were used to attack a compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was hiding.
They were led to the fortress-like three-story building after more than four years tracking one of bin Laden’s most trusted couriers, whom U.S. officials said was identified by men captured after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Observation Point Restrepo
(Guest post by LC Draco)
The unit -- 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (ABN), 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team
For those of you unaware of the name and the story, it is an outpost named after one of the first soldiers killed at that outpost in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan (The Korengal Valley was regarded as “the deadliest place on Earth”). The story is about the soldiers who went in and set up an outpost in the middle of the night and how they fought to keep it!
If you have not seen the movie…GET IT, WATCH IT, then WATCH IT AGAIN!! It is an emotional, fierce and in-your-face documentary. It received the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. (One of the directors, Tim Hetherington, was the photojournalist killed in Libya on 20 April, 2011).
But now…to the trailer at the official web site. It is a peek into one OP of many and what some of our soldiers go through every day.
R.I.P. PFC Restrepo and your brothers that died there with you. You and your brethren display the TRUE American soldier!!
LC Draco
UPDATE:
Restrepo, A Year In Afghanistan is going to be shown on National Geographic channel Monday 25 April at 9pm, Eastern.
Citizen Soldier
(Guest post by LC Draco)
As a soldier who has been Reserve, National Guard and Active….this video (yeah, it’s a bit old) still makes my eyes mist a bit. It used to be (Pre 9-11) that the Guard and Reserves were considered second class soldiers. I know, because when I went from Active Duty to a short stint in the Guard, I had the same opinion. We all used to hear stories of Reservists and the Guard guys taking beer chests and coolers to their two week AT (Annual Training). And hell, they only met one weekend a month!! How can you be ready for combat with THAT limited time?
But I can assure you that mentality WILL never be like that again. Some Guard and Reserve units have deployed more than most Active units. I have personally trained Guard and Reservists on going on their third, fourth and fifth deployments. (I also deployed as a Reservist, so I have seen the look we get from Active soldiers! Little did they know I still had more Active and combat time than they did!!)
But to the video….and BTW, 3 Doors Down did this video for FREE!!! They did not ask for ANY money from the National Guard!!! TRUE PATRIOTS!!!
(I personally love the Blackhawk coming in with an Apache package support!! Been there, done that!!! And it IS a rush!!)
“Hope and pray that you never need me,
but rest assured I will not let you down….
I walk beside you, but you may not see me….
The strongest among you may not wear a crown!”
Bonus points if you can name the left shoulder patches in the first scenes without Google!! HINT- it is NOT New Mexico! And I trained this unit!
