what the hell were soldiers from la Republica Dominicana doing over in Iraq in the first place?
I know that the U.S. and the Dominican Republic have had a rocky past. The U.S. entered the D.R. and squashed a rebellion that they characterized as being a Communist uprising in 1965. My dad has let bits and pieces of the bloody scenes he witnessed creep out, but generally he doesn't like to talk about it. I know he said his sister was in Santo Domingo at the time and hid under a bed for several days in fear of the fighting in the streets.
