Hey Cannoneer No. 4, ya missed a spot!

Sorry, couldn’t resist and when I think of the mud pit at Slavonski Brod where we “redeployed” 1st AD back to Germany in late 1996, I shake my head and wonder how we pulled it off…and no one was shooting at us either! Still not sure the Austrians knew what we were shipping thru their country on the way back to garrison, but I digress. Even so, I’m sure some poor planning cell in CENTCOM is busy wasting its time prepping a 16-month “redeployment” plan for President Obama as we speak because that’s what we do…plan for all possibilities, whether we like it or not. And when W’s picture comes off the wall next January, I have no doubt that our troops will well serve the CINC whose picture replaces him – I just wonder if their service and sacrifice will be appreciated by the next POTUS.
