3/2 Stryker Brigade

Just a shameless plug.

The book "My War : Killing Time in Iraq" by Colby Buzzell. A quick and dirty read. He takes his influences from Hunter S. Thompson and Vonnegut and it shows in his writing. Wouldn't bring this up, but my son is mentioned on page 186 (or is that 184?).

First of the new army: Fast, Mobile, Armoured and Surgical. My son goes back to Iraq with the 3/2 in June. They were the first of this new breed of soldiering. Buzzell was in my sons platoon on the first deployment...

Damn, but he left out the part about my son falling down a well in the middle of the night while they were sweeping a field en route to getting some bad guys "hey, where's netherton? hey? he was just here?"
