Largest Guard armored unit deployment in a decade wraps up, an even bigger one is on the way

3.12K

I deployed to Northern Iraq (2004/2005) with the 116th Cav Brigade (now called the 116th ABCT) from the IDARNG. War is more of a threat than global warming. When in a bad peace, prepare for war. The earth will warm up even if we all went electric everything.

LTC (Join to see) - Nice pic to reinforce your point! I like it because I am really biased toward the Navy

TSgt (Join to see) this was off the USS Texas. I believe it's a 5-inch gun. Either way, I would not want to be on the receiving end even if inside an Abrams tank 3 miles away.
