A Soldier's Journey: Michael Mundell

We have some operations coming up, no details as of yet. I am sure they will be fun. That, in case anyone didn't notice, was sarcasm at its best. As long as the Iraqi Police know, the bad guys will know. And we will waste our time on some big operation, and find nothing.

Everything else is the same as it always is here. We patrol daily, looking for them, sometimes we find them, mostly they find us. We kill one or two, the shoot a few of our guys. Someone, I assume, will run out of men sooner or later. They ship theirs in from Syria, Jordan and other places. We get ours from ... well, I dont exactly know.

I am collecting some stuff for Audrey and the kids—Arabic jewelry, clothes, candy, etc. I hope to have that off this week. Anyone else? Just drop me a line. Our interpreters can get it cheap.

All else is as well as can be. Happy Ramadan, everyone!
Mike

It's Been Busy

Dear Everyone, friends, family, loved ones, etc.,
It has been a while since I have been able to read mail or write. The only time I got to a computer is to order Dale's birthday present and that's it. Things have been very busy here of late. We are told that offensive action in Baghdad and Ramadi are driving the Muj here, and that they are staking a claim to the city, to drive us out and embarrass both the US and the young Iraqi governments. It's been busy.
