Action: Army unit given the shaft for bush's escalation.

Here's the article and contact info to help:

Most likely their replacements were sent to Iraq.

2. They will be there for the spring offensive.
As of now the Pentagon will do nothing to retrieve their supplies. If all they have is what they have on their backs, that means they have no ammo.
