Iraq Update - August 2017

[Sapper.dawg]

Fellow Hunt Talkers -

I recently updated my blog here with a letter I sent to my family and friends recently, if you are interested. It has some pictures of Mosul and a description of the absolute destruction there.

Keep your head down, dude! I got blown up once in Baghdad and the second time in an ambush where I ended up getting shot too in Taji. Patrolling Route Irish was a damn circus!!

I haven't been there for 10 years... I did spend a lot of time there and 24 months consecutive once (Army Officer & unit commander), but I doesn't sound like its changed much except getting even worse. I remember writing these same types of updates when prompted. That part of the world is a lost cause in my book. It's noble that we have and will continue to defend human and religious rights, civility, and freedoms for those who are victim to being from the area. The poor citizens of the area have endured a lot at the hands of a dictator, terrorists, and constant war coupled with instability.

I wish you a safe travels and a smooth transition back to the world. I pray your men (maybe women too... weird to say... never was in a unit or place with women) will stay diligent and avoid complacency. Besides that a little luck can't hurt. I wish you the best. God Bless.
