Have you ever listened to the lyrics of "We Didn't Start the Fire". Well the Piano Man should change the tune to "We Didn't Fuck Up Iraq" when referring to these guys. But they're keeping their head down trying to make things better in the Sandbox with the resources they have. The phrase "Support the Troops" takes on a whole new meaning when "the Troops" are doing night patrols to prevent a 120mm mortar from landing on my unsuspecting noggin' while I'm sleeping. Read about them in Newsweek or at Small Wars Journal. Too bad other people their age think the price of their first "dream" home is more important. (H/T to Irritated Vet for the accurate phraseology of "Un-Ass"!)

Operation Un-Ass Iraq
