If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 3RD ID - The Rock of the Marne

A constant refrain heard throughout the Left and their supporters, is that there is NO support for this war; that the Army is broken. If any branch misses a recruitment goal by even fractions of a percentage, that is trumpeted from the roof tops.

Have you heard that re-enlistments in one of the MOST deployed Army Divisions are not only up, but the quota has been met? Ahead of time? The 3rd ID shows the world that it is still The Rock on which we depend.

This is the division’s third deployment to Iraq since 2003, but its high operational tempo did not stop 4,000 Soldiers from re-enlisting. Even more troops will follow their lead, and by the end of March one battalion with the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, out of Fort Benning, Ga., will have met its retention goal twice.

I had the honor with serving with these men and women during my deployments in 2003 and in 2006-07. HOOOAAH!

The Mudville Gazette has more. Make sure you watch the videos. OUTSTANDING!
