Thanks in great measure to the sacrifices of the 173rd, the Korengal is much quieter now. I know because my son is a Platoon Leader in the 2-26 Infantry that just relieved the 173rd last month. The 173rd made tremendous strides with the Korengalis and in making the KOP a vastly better place to live. Hooah! Yes, this place is vastly underreported, I didn't know about until my son was assigned there. But then the media generally choose to report what fits their own political agenda. And I for one am thankful that the Army has started to use more tools to help soldiers cope with combat and be more effective. Yes, medications can help. Could we please not trash the Army for doing more to decrease PTSD?
