Louisiana Army National Guard’s Plaquemine-based 832nd Engineer Detachment, 528th Engineer Battalion, 225th Engineer Brigade is heading to Iraq for 9-12 months. I'm sitting here deciding what I want to eat for lunch, and these men and women are leaving their families for a year to serve our country in Iraq. Just wanted to give them a moment of our time to say thank you and come back home safe!

Sorry, but I don't care. I live in the USA.

ETA: Should read "...leave our country to serve Iraq."

I've heard that group is about as sharp as a butter knife. Good luck.

Nothing like having a unit comprised almost exclusively of people just looking for a monthly check.

The entire army sucks balls dude. The guard isn’t going to hurt them any.


Good luck to them anyway though.

Would be more beneficial on the Border. We cannot fix the middle east.

Imagine the relief they must feel at not having to cross the Mississippi River Bridge for nearly a year.

Godspeed and Thank You, Soldiers.

I agree. Just get through it safely and come home. Don’t risk your life unnecessarily for Iraq.

I wish the soldiers well and hope they all make it back safely, but why in God’s name are we still sending people to Iraq?

Holy shite!
You have lost your damned mind.

Let me get this right...you're saying this unit of the formalized welfare system known as the U.S. Army is equivalent to the U.S. Navy Construction Battalions?
