The Truth Comes Out About the Battle of Patrol Base Bella
So this “military installation” was nothing like a Combat Out Post or Joint Security Station or Foward Operating Base as those term are understood in Iraq. It sounds more like what an old tanker would call a laager, maybe an assembly area. And it wasn’t “abandoned” after the battle. The mobile unit that occupied the position got up and left. Mobile units do that.
First reports are always wrong. Remember that.
