Iron Fist - No, it's

Iron Fist - No, it's not a new gay practice. It's the nickname of one of the brigades of the Third Infantry (Mech) Division.

I've seen CNN, NBC, CBS, and heard NPR doing standups from the Division's laager, somewhere in Kuwait. And it's been interesting, hearing the same basic line from all of them; "It's this brigade's job to punch a hole straight through to Baghdad". So I have to wonder - is it the brigade's job at all? I suspect disinformation.

They also go to great pains to explain that it's the army's "Only Tank Brigade" in Kuwait. More disinformation? The Third Infantry has three brigades, only one of them "Tank" - but the other two are almost as heavily armed. It's a distinction that means little to journalists, of course.
