In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing pre-deployment training at Fort Dum, NY, while considering why President George W. Bush sent us in the first place. I'll discuss some interesting stories like living in World War II barracks with moldy bathrooms, lieutenants tellings senior enlisted members to "at ease" in front of hundreds, and poking training land mines with sticks in a volleyball court. Enjoy!
