The Battle of Debecka Pass

With all of the bad news from Afghanistan, it’s nice to hear stories about the military in the good old days. You know, when Washington allowed our military to kill the bad guys in old-fashioned conventional warfare.

On the 17th day of the Iraq War, 26 Army SF soldiers, along with three Air Force combat controllers, two intelligence operators, and 80 Peshmerga (Kurdish fighters) faced off and beat down Iraqi tanks, APCs, and hundreds of infantry in the Battle of Debecka Pass.

I will update ASAP, but in the meantime, The New York Times actually has a pretty decent account of the battle.
