2. RIP

And another RIP to Andy Wallace, killed last weekend. He was my daughter's PE teacher. The whole school gave him a send-off last year and was planning collections for his unit.

3. RIP.

As a matter of idle curiosity, what is a "combat logistics patrol"?
Does that mean hauling supplies around to variuous places?
So these guys are getting killed hauling fuel or bullets to
forward positions and that sort of thing?
