‘We’re going to war, bro’: Fort Bragg’s 82nd Airborne deploys to the Middle East
(Worthy News) – The 600 mostly young soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, were headed for the Middle East, part of a group of some 3,500 U.S. paratroopers ordered to the region. Kuwait is the first stop for many. Their final destinations are classified.
