#2 Had a customer recently back from Deathcon two. Served near Bagdad one. Thought Panhandle was a little to long. He was with teenage son and happy wife. Very polite but had a story that wanted telling beyond just his emotion. Was very pissed at being mortored so much. Good guy but not happy!

#4 It is unclear whether those troops will return to South Korea after conducting stabilizing operations in Iraq

SK has a big graveyard requirement.

#5 sakattack: SK has a big graveyard.

Bury Americans on Korean soil? Nah... There'll be enough Korean cadavers after Kim Jong Il makes his move to unify Korea. What the US needs to do is leave the peninsula completely, unit by unit.

#6 Whiskey Mike, sorry for the funky wording, was at a BBQ all day swill'n brew. But the deal is the guy was just back from Iraq (D2), he thought they were spread to thin (panhandle) and wasn't real happy at being mortered so much (pissed). His wife and son were very happy to have him back. The guy retires out of the US Army soon. Nice, polite guy but was a little emotional and couldn't say what he wanted to say.

#7  "It is unclear whether those troops will return to South Korea..."

No,it is very clear,they ain't going back to SK unless the North invades.We are seeing a smooth face-saving means of withdrawing from Korea.The combat troops will exit first(w/talk of returning when tour is up),then some of support units,leaving cadres behind to keep southern depots ready in case the North heads South.
