From The Front

Neil Prakash at Armor Geddon - a tank platoon commander in Iraq, by the way - writes:

The soldiers of 2-63 AR BN are out there hardening the election sites and working around the clock to provide security for the Iraqis. I'm pretty excited about being out there for something historical. Not all my soldiers can be out there but I have guys begging to be taken out in sector. Seeing how bad these locals want the elections to happen has been pretty inspiring for us. I will be posting photos of the guys laying wire and dropping barriers when I have more time, probably after elections are over.

When the history of this election is written, the role of the coalition's troops - providing security while trying to remain as invisible as possible - is going to be some great reading.
