10. Ah...OK...

I'm just not sure what you wrote.

True, the 101st is one of the most distinguished units in the Army. I have many, many friends in that unit.

6. My co-worker's son is in the 101st...came home Monday...

We're all very happy - side effect was that Dad-co-worker was a complete basket case to work with for the last year. We can already see the difference...

WTG boys, and welcome home! :thumbsup:

8. Watch for the 101st to have problems...

personnel problems, as in personnel shortage problems when they hit CONUS. I will wager that 2 in 5 will say "F this" and ETS.

11. Total Props to all who serve in uniform!

I really, really, really appreciate the sacrifices made by our military men and women. That's why I will be working so hard to get them a commander-in-chief who deserves the title and will treat their lives with respect!!

12. Was their Air Assault capabilities used much in Iraq?

Seems like all I heard about was them moving via vehicles (like World War II infantry) - I don't recall any big "air assaults" occurring during Iraq 2003. Seems like having them quickly secure the Bagdad airport would have been a "no brainer" but it didn't happen. Anyone have any info on this?
