HBC to AAB - Obama Lie Again?

This was sent to me by my bud, Ed. I have to assume Travis is a true person, but what he says is totally true. I have heard it from those who are involved that the same guys are still there, just call by a different name. Just another example of how Obama misleads and lies to the American people.

Hey, everybody! I just wanted to send a quick update and give y'all the REAL story on what's going on over here with the troop withdrawal.

The picture is of my crew and I on a break during a mission. The guy to the far left is my gunner (Burks) and the guy in the middle is my driver (Mizell). They go with me on every mission and are great guys.

The reason I'm sending this out is because I have had a few people ask if I left Iraq early because all of the combat troops are out of Iraq and I wanted to let everyone know the real deal. It's kind of ridiculous how the news is saying that the last of the "combat" troops are out of Iraq because of Pres Obama. He says that it was his campaign promise.

Take our Brigade for example. We were originally called a HBCT (Heavy Brigade Combat Team). Well, since Obama said he would pull all of the "combat" troops out by Aug, all they did before we left was change our name from a HBCT to a AAB (Advise and Assist Brigade). We have the same personnel/equipment layout as before and are doing the same missions. The ONLY difference is that they changed our name from a HBCT to an AAB and that's how he is getting away with saying that he has pulled all of the "combat" troops out.

It is really ridiculous what he's doing and he has ticked a lot of people off. And it's funny how the media is buying all of it, too. So no the last combat troops are not out of Iraq. We are still here. There are other Brigades just like ours that are doing the same missions that are still over here. Sorry for going on about it but we are just sitting over here watching it and are like "You've got to be kidding me!" So anyway now you know the REAL story, so that's why I'm not coming back early. You have to watch those liberals, they're sneaky! Anyways I hope everyone is doing well and I'll see you soon!

CP,
I had the same pic and info sent to me by "another source". I can tell where the pic was taken and I suspect the info is true.
Just change the names of the units.
but....

I got this sent to me about 6 years ago when we first won the combat part of the Iraq War. Times and dates changed to support the lie of course.

I don't trust forwarding emails or politicians. I will try to remember to ask Pookie what he knows about it, since he is there. Since we haven't seen the media covering any HOME COMINGS, I doubt most of the troops have returned.
