Navy SEALS Talk About Anbar Province

Taking the fight directly to the enemy:

Two Navy SEALs who recently returned from Iraq shared some of their combat experiences and described the progress they witnessed in Anbar province, during a panel discussion yesterday at the Naval Heritage Center here.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Brian, a heavy weapons operator and breacher, and Lt. Chris, SEAL Team Five Bravo Platoon’s commander, are identified only by their first names for security reasons. They spent seven months in Anbar province training Iraqi security forces to operate independently.

The SEALs painted an unfiltered picture of their experience on Camp Corregidor in the city of Ramadi, which was mortared an average of three times a day when they first arrived.

Read the whole thing - and on this Memorial Day weekend, keep our troops in mind as you go about your holiday.

Camp Corregidor

Very interesting that they call it this--must be a pretty rough place. Sounds like it's getting better.

**sarcasm**

How can this be? It's a quagmire, a civil war, the second coming of the 12th Imam.

**sarcasm off**

God bless these troops, and God bless all who gave all for our freedom. God Bless America!!!

That was a tremendous story. It's hard to believe that many here on US soil continually undermine the heroic efforts of thse brave men and continually denigrate and underestimate the heart of the average Iraqi citizen. Choosing instead to believe in the insurgents determination and will.

And this choice of theirs has nothing to do with their concern for innocent lives, their desire for a more peaceful Iraq, or for a more secure America, but rahter for more political power, period. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
