STRYKER in IRAQ Options

[TheGrim]

Hello everyone, Most of my MOB brothers may remember my buddy STRYKER. It was his daughter, who's 8 and my son, who's 9, that caused some mischief on the MOB barb server awhile back. hehe...Little angels they are..hahah....



Anyways back in Sept-06, STRYKER turned 40, and for his 40th bday, he re-enlisted in the Army. He's a Calvery Scout with the 1st Cal Div. He is now about 40 miles to the N.E of Bagdad. He scored expert in Marksmanship, and they were thinking of letting him have the 50cal sniper rifle,,,which kinda makes me laugh for that gun is probably bigger than he is.



I really don't like our troops to play "policeman"....Troops are for one thing in my mind, and that is to kill the enemy. Which is probably why the Army Recruiter told me, and I quote, "We don't need any John Wayne types". That kinda hurt... I guess I think more 19th century. The last thing I would want is War, but If I go to war, then I will kill them all. Dead bodies can't place roadside bombs is my thought. Anyways, I just wanted all of you to know.



I talk to him about once every two weeks or so, his Platoon name is the Cro-mags..haha. So another buddy of mine is going to burn him a disk full of Cro-mags music. I am putting together a care package for him and his buddies.



One last thought, He and I think that we are going to go into Iran. Im not sure when, If I were to guess, I would say Spring of 08.



Stryker and I have been good friends for about 25 yrs now. He's as close as a blood brother and I pray to the Almighty to keep him safe. Thanks for listening. May God bless the USA.

I hope the madness ends for Stryker and your bro' Cross.
I'm pretty sure it will be sooner rather than later.
The misadventure seems to be revealing itself. I doubt there'll be any ground assualt in Iran. If we don't have 300,000 troops needed to pacify Iraq, look at the size of Iran-where would the half-million ADDITIONAL troops come from to even take-on that country.
Any spare troops will now be redeployed to the Afghanistan border in my opinion. Things are threatening to re-surge there in a major way now that jihad has been declared against Pakistani troops on the border regions -watch for it very, very soon.
The neo-cons are spent AND the generals/politicians/public are backing them and Bush into a very very tight corner.
