This is from Stryker news I read today. Passing it on.
It's a joke," said Pfc. Drew Merrell, 22, of Jefferson City, Mo., shaking his head and flashing a smile as the Stryker rolled through Baghdad.
"They feed us what they want," said Spec. Josh Lake, 26, of Ventura, Calif., referring to the intelligence. "I guarantee that everyone in the city knows where we're going. Because the IA told them. The only thing they don't know is how big a force we're coming with."
On this morning, 22 U.S. soldiers were in the Stryker convoy along with one Iraqi translator, whom the soldiers called Joey. He didn't want his real name used for security reasons.
"Pretty soon the Shiites will be tired of our presence, just like the Sunnis," said Lake, noting that the squad now makes almost daily trips to Hurriyah.
"The general feeling among us is we're not really doing anything here," Caldwell said. "We clear one neighborhood, then another one fires up. It's an ongoing battle. It never ends." <...>
Get the kids out- they should not be there at all. And they KNOW better!!!!
