FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade will use the U.S. presidential election as an example of how democracy works as they mentor the Iraqi army and police, Col. Timothy McGuire said Tuesday.

The 3,500 paratroopers from Fort Bragg will leave this month for a yearlong deployment to Iraq, where McGuire said they will focus on working with and training the Iraqis. The brigade’s departure will mark the start of a new round of Iraq deployments for 82nd Airborne paratroopers.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
