Extension talk hits AD families hard

“If it’s bad news, it usually happens,” Coulter said. “I hate the Army right now. Why can’t they send some other unit?”

One wife, who learned Saturday that her husband was injured during a convoy ambush, could not bring herself to discuss the proposed extension.

Others also found it hard to talk, but know that there’s little they can do but wait.>>

1. Article states that "a dozen" soldiers stationed at Baumholder

have been killed in Iraq in the last year.

I Have at least 24 1AD soldiers killed since October, including 11 in the last week. Maybe they're not all stationed at Baumholder?
