#3  I figured they must have been riding around in a G-Wagon, but they were in an RG-31. Iranian IED?

RIP warriors.

#1  RIP Brothers..

The deadly blast happened on a gravel road "that we have travelled regularly in the past month," Grant said.

"What doesn't get reported is the number of times, the many number of times, when we neutralize IEDs - where they're pointed out to us by locals, or we find them ourselves. We dismantle them and we're able to exploit them so that we learn how to defeat them."

"We're not perfect and we do miss some, as we have seen today, but the battle against the Taliban and the battle against their choice of weapons, IED, is successful," Grant insisted.

In response to questions, Grant said: "When IEDs are successful, they get reported."


Sounds like Brig.-Gen. Tim Grant has been dealing with the same species of Rapporteurs™ we've had from day one.

You know the ones who disrespect our Men and Women sacrifice by distorting their mission.
