leaving soon

We are turning this base over to the locals in a few weeks.They can have it. Notice the hole in the roof, that happened a few nights ago. No one was hurt.

Nice ! Is that a barrage balloon ? above the hole in the roof ?

[birdman]

Allan ,the balloon is pretty much an eye in the sky. Equipped with cameras and what not. They have caught several bad guys with the surveillance system. The problem is the the local security force take their time getting on site when they are called...
It is going to be their headache soon . If they want to survive they will defend themselves...or not.

One thing I have learned this time around is that politics have no place in a war zone.

Thanks ! I saw it and thought battle of Britain lol , old school meets new . Well I appreciate what you guys do and thank you for your service

[packerbacker]

Yeah, it's a shame that we should lose so many good Americans and have so many more wounded and disfigured and then just walk away and leave the place to its own dimise. I guess getting out now is better than later. Keep your head down and get your butts home.........and THANKS!!

Cutting that Iraqi flag off the tail of that aircraft would make a great decoration for your man cave when you get home. Just sayin' seeing as they won't let you bring home teeth and ears.
