| Baghdad, Iraq -- One Task Force Baghdad Soldier died and five others were wounded Oct. 25, when an improvised explosive device detonated at about 11:15 a.m. in western Baghdad. A two-and-a-half-ton truck was also damaged in the blast. The injured were evacuated to a nearby military medical facility. This is a squad from the 45 member Estonian contribution to the Coalition. They have now lost two soldiers supporting the Liberation of Iraq. |

| #6 There was an article last week about the Estonians - called the "Stone Platoon" by the US troops they're attached to. Well enough respected that the US unit gave them the right to wear their combat badge |

| #2 I have a good friend that is a retired general. He is over in Estonia right now for 3 weeks training their military. The Estonians were under the jackboots of the Soviets for half a century or so. They know that freedom is not free, and they are willing to make sacrifices to keep their freedom. OTOH, the French and others....many of them have forgotten the price of freedom paid to keep them free. They have lived under the US and Nato umbrella for too long without having paid the price of preventative maintenance to keep their freedom. Their day of reckoning is coming. Spain 3-11 boom was the free introductory offer. Demographics will make this day of reconing a certainty. And there will be no US help in getting their collective asses out of the sling this time. I salute the Estonians for their sacrifices in this war against this evil threat to civilization. |
