The 105th Cavalry came back in April with no deaths and plenty of action. Insurgents throw everything at them, but they completed their missions alive.

The reference tp Yankee is very confusing. The nearest Yankee to this region is 1000 miles east. This is like calling a German a limey and expecting him to be insulted. But it just makes you sound ignorant.

The proper term is Cheesehead. To the south we have FIB's. To the West we have Viqueens to the north is yoopers and to the east is a lake.

I hope this helps you sound less fooish.
