BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers and combat medics provided emergency medical treatment for a young Iraqi boy inured in an improvised explosive device attack in the Rashid district of southern Baghdad July 30.

Soldiers medically evacuated the boy to a coalition Combat Support Hospital in the International Zone after an Iraqi citizen in the Abu T’shir community reported to a joint security station that the child had been injured.

The Soldiers treated the boy for abdominal, facial and extremity injuries.

“The actions of the 1st Brigade Soldiers are commendable,” said Maj. Dave Olson, 1st BCT spokesperson, 4th Inf. Div., MND-B. “This event is yet another reminder that the enemy operates with no regard for human life or the Iraqi people. The Brigade is committed to ensuring the ISF have 100 percent of our support in pursuing these enemies.”

  2. About time those “cold-blooded murderers” did something right! Good story, Marcus. Too bad it didn’t really happen since it was released by DOD public affairs. Remember, they’re not real journalists.

    • Asshole.

    • If you can’t back the troops, feel free to stand in front of them. Let’s see you’re lame ass over there “arm-chair-quarterback”

      • If you are talking about CJ, he was making a joke. Just read anything he has written on this site.

      • You really have no clue AND you’re hiding behind a fake email address. You realize CJ is an active duty 1stSgt in the Army, right? Oh yeah, would have to READ the rest of the blog to know that.

  3. Such good news that our guys helped this little boy! I’m sure the family is very grateful!

  4. Great post Marcus, I hope you don’t mind me ripping it on my blog. Credits go to you of course.
