Mickey Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 The 98th Division of reservists is headed for Iraq. I gather they are not a combat unit but instead a training unit. They are going to train Iraqi troops. Here is the link:Rochester Unit Headed for Iraq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 My old boss was a commanding officer in that unit. He retired a few years ago. The thought of him in Iraq is ludicrous. They might as well start sending (police) patrol officers next - good people all but not trained or equipped for the task they're about to face.

Tux of Borg Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 That was my fathers last reserve unit before retiring. I'm shocked that they are going somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't all the troops home and happy and aren't we not suffering any more casualties there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
