So 34 troops flying home from Afghanistan via Delta on Tuesday say they were forced to fork over $2,800 of their own money because the airline said they were carrying too many bags home from combat. Made a nifty little video about it mid-flight, complete with a barf-bag signoff. Gotta love their video-firing-for-effect (indirect fire that gets the job done), and also gotta believe this charge will be KIA by day’s end.
UPDATE: They reversed course before dinner…
Hard to believe, but Battleland began covering this terrible story 25 years ago today:
The quiet coalition has come together to reverse the decline of the opposition rebel forces in Syria, according to this nice front-pager in Wednesday’s Washington Post. Much like in the case of Libya, the Obama Administration is hanging back and letting the local “market” determine his military response. He simply refuses to take the strategic lead, which is frustrating to many and yet decidedly clever on his part.
