#1 There's a joke in there somewhere! Something about Cajuns and ending up in the gumbo . . . .

#3 Are these guys the decendents of the Louisiana Tigers? Or is that the armoured regiment?

#4 Thanks for posting this, Matt.

AlmostAnonymous: I think I've heard the joke you're thinking of, but I don't feel like repeating it.

Shipman: These are about five thousand people drawn from across the state. As for the unit's history, you can read some information here.

#7 Louisian has another unit in Iraq. One of the companies from the 1st Battalion 23rd Marines is from Louisiana (the rest of the battalion is from Texas). The 1/23 is a Marine Reserve infantry battalion that has been deployed in Anbar province since last September. They're scheduled to come home in about 6 weeks.
