LA Times:

The 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment from Twentynine Palms is training to deploy later this year, probably to Afghanistan.

Afghanistan. Winter. Mountain hiding spots for insurgents. Snow. High winds.

So the Marines just finished 25 days at the mountain warfare training center at Bridgeport, Calif.

P.S.: The Three-Four was the battalion that pulled down Saddam Hussein’s statue.

    I’ve always wanted to try NWS up in Alaska. For some reason the cold never really bothered me. Must be the Scott blood.

    But that pic could be famous.

    Too bad Obama will ask the press never to show that pic. Afterall the last thing he wants is Pro-American propaganda. It goes against his goal of destroying what we are.
