Rob,
These are the same IA guys the the 172d Stryker BDE from Alaska had good results with. I also know that some 1 CD guys right now are enjoying the support and combat prowess of the two IA Divisions up in that AO. Personally, I'm not surprised. Although not at the tactical level of a US platoon, most IA platoons will fight and will win when attacked or conducting operations against insurgents. The issues really start at the higher levels and with the Iraqi Police.

Always nice to see a good news story in the press, especially about our IA brothers.
