#6  Afghanistan has no coast for an amphibious landing. I wonder if the Pakistani people will notice the Devil Dogs driving through their country. I guess that camouflage will prevents detection. If we attach longhorns, tusks or a rack of antlers to the grill of each vehicle, maybe the locals will think it is just a stampede.

#5  #2 Seems like 10th Mountain's been there for 3 years.
It just seems that way. It's the rotation thingy. Elements of the 10th have been there since last Aug and should have been replaced by a Brigade from the 25th (Hawaii)in Feb. Obviously, the 10th has not rotated out. (The Hawaii guys are waiting for their long johns issue.) See Order of Battle Afghanistan 5 and Rotation Plan.

The weather is much nicer there in the winter than back home in Buffalo.

#3  Interesting, arriving on the heels of the company of French Special Forces and a company of British SAS?
Why do I have a feeling that there is a whole lotta murderin' about to be goin' on?
