Hey, I was a gunner with 448 CA BN HQ in Baghdad from June 05 - May 06, we were at FOB Liberty. Were you guys on that deployment? I recognized a few of the pics, what FOB were you guys at?
They're a part of the same command. USASOC(A), United States Army Special Operations Command (Airborne), for the active duty Civil Affairs and PsyOp. USACAPOC(A), United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), for the reservists. The job of CA and PsyOp operators is to support Special Operations and conventional forces.
were u civil affairs? I spent 7 years in the military and i am thinking of joning a civil affairs reserve unit. civilian life isnt what i thought it was.
This touched me also. My heart breaks for all that you boys have had to endure over there. Just the dust, dirt and heat alone would break an average person. I love the photo of the Iraqi child kissing the soldier. CNN doesn't show those photos. Thank you!
It's about how an Arab isn't better than a white nor a white better than an Arab. And that you should pray for peace and harmony. Respect every human being, respect your family and so on.
The song is from a persian poet, I believe, singing it are two South Africa guys.
It's called Mul'iya (meaning "The Scarf").

Beautiful song, except for the fact that I can understand what they are saying.
