As a member of the military, and as someone who has been there two times and is heading back real soon, I can tell you this much, there is nothing like getting a slice of Pizza Hut pizza or a Burger King Burger when you get the chance. These companies have small mobile home type trailer that have been converted to use for making and selling food and they are usually parked next the PX along with other trailers for haircuts and souvenirs.

I follow a lot of soldier's in Iraq blogs and it's interesting to see what is happening in various parts of the country. <BR/><BR/>In Al Anbar, which just 7 months ago was being called the most dangerous place in Iraq has now completely turned around and has embraced the American forces there; Army and Marines. <BR/><BR/>The same thing is now underway in Diyala. I guess they (AQI)are hammering away at the Green Zone because they are being killed, captured or driven out of the areas surrounding B-dad.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for everything you do. Stay as safe as you can.membrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527550651850993396noreply@blogger.com
