Who knew an invasion had so much paperwork? (just joking... it's not an invasion)

It does take quite a bit of work to cross the line of departure with an entire infantry unit and all of its attachments.

We are a huge force. Over a 1000 strong. We have some serious fucking fire power... And we a re leaving a good portion behind so as not to scare the populace.

The general has a good philosophy. "No better friend. No worse enemy". Help all who need helping and kill all who need killing. Simple and effective. Hard to distinguish between the two... friendly and not... but we aren't doing this because it is easy. We are doing it because we are the only ones capable.

A lot of people bitch about the US. Talking of occupation and strong arming; but you would be really surprised at how we really bend over backwards to help these people. Putting ourselves in far more danger than is necessary to protect these people and their tradations. Anyone who tells you different hasn't been here. And if they were it was during the"WAR" phase, which is LONG gone.

Well, I'm off to do more paperwork! Woo Hoo! Keep up the good work on the homefront and we'll see you all later.
