Nearly 10,000 headed from Fort Lewis to Iraq
Posted October 2nd, 2008 by Anonymous
Nearly 10,000 troops from Fort Lewis will head to Iraq next year, when the post's commanding general and the rest of I Corps take over daily operations in the country and two Stryker brigades fall under its command.
Those numbers don’t include the 81st Brigade Combat Team of the Washington National Guard. Its 2,500 citizen-soldiers have their send-off ceremony in Wisconsin today and within a month will go to Kuwait and ultimately Iraq.

Iraq: Much Larger Problems
Posted August 11th, 2008 by Acumensch
"There's no veil of legitimacy over there," says Iraq vet Seth Manzel, referring to the ubiquitous corporate-style occupation of Iraq. Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), for those who might not know, is a former subsidiary of Halliburton and is contracted for most of the reconstruction in Iraq. It is a very profitable organization, consistently winning contracts with the US Federal Government to rebuild states since WWII. It is also the largest non-unionized construction company based in the US.

Tacoma: Army Recruiting Station Attacked
Posted August 1st, 2008 by AnonymousLast night, the 31st of July, the windows of a recruitment station at the Tacoma Mall were smashed. This was done in solidarity with the Northwest's current resistance to port militarization.
For the forces of order who attempt to strike fear into the hearts of our comrades down at the port--we have a message for you:
Get out of Cascadia, or face imminent retaliation.
We will strike again.
