Welcome home

KHABARI CROSSING, Kuwait — As their convoy reached the barbed wire at the border crossing out of Iraq on Wednesday, the soldiers whooped and cheered. Then they scrambled out of their stifling hot armored vehicles, unfurled an American flag and posed for group photos.

For these troops of the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, it was a moment of relief fraught with symbolism. Seven years and five months after the U.S.-led invasion, the last American combat brigade was leaving Iraq, well ahead of President Barack Obama's Aug. 31 deadline for ending U.S. combat operations there.
There are more troops to yet come home, but finally - finally! Welcome home, heros :tro:

About time these soldiers come back from a place we have no business being at in the first place. Where are these so called WMD at? Wasn't that one of the main reasons why this war was started in the first place.

one sniper and a box of bullets would have been a lot cheaper, quicker, and less painful for a lot of military families.

You know that would be against the law, and we can't have that can we?

I believe it was Clinton's National Security Advisor Sandy Berger that said, "Don't shoot." Then Berger tried to steal the papers that documented this.
