FOB Caldwell
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5140102.stm
The last part of this story talks about FOB Caldwell, aka Kirkush Military Training Base, which was built by the Yugoslavians in the mid-80s. I was there for two months (MAR-APR) in 2004, before being transferred with the rest of 1/120IN to FOB Bernstein near Tuz Khurmatu. I'll post pics of both Caldwell and Bernstein soon.

AS AN ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIER GETTING READY FOR ANOTHER DEPLOYMENT TO IRAQ IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS I AM DISGUSTED WITH YOUR WEB-SITE. YOU ARE IN MY OPINION OF THE LOWEST OF CALIBER PERSON, ON PAR WITH JANE FONDA. YOUR ACTIONS ARE A DISGRACE. WEB-SITES THE LIKES OF YOURS WILL BE LOOKED AT AND USED BY OUR ENEMIES AS PROPOGANDA. TO CONTINUE TO SIMPLY LIST ALL THAT IS NEGATIVE IN IRAQ AND THE VICTORIES OF OUR ENEMIES IS UNDERMINING ALL THE EFFORTS OF THOSE BRAVE AND HONORABLE SOLDIERS THAT ARE STILL FIGHTING THIS WAR.
YOU OBVIOUSLY DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT YOU DO BUT JUST BY HAVING DOES NOT MAKE EXERCISING THAT RIGHT RIGHTEOUS.
A true patriot is one who speaks the truth as it is, not as he wishes it were. As Thomas Jefferson said "It is more honorable to repair a wrong than to persist in it."
Indeed. My point exactly.
The true disgrace is that people's fathers and sons are still being sent to Iraq to die for NOTHING.
