The "Sane" Mutiny

Wow, this courtesy of Kossack Diarist, Buffalo Soldier, from a local Mississippi paper:

A 17-member Army Reserve platoon with troops from Jackson and around the Southeast deployed to Iraq is under arrest for refusing a "suicide mission" to deliver fuel, the troops' relatives said Thursday.

The soldiers refused an order on Wednesday to go to Taji, Iraq — north of Baghdad — because their vehicles were considered "deadlined" or extremely unsafe, said Patricia McCook of Jackson, wife of Sgt. Larry O. McCook.


This should be an interesting story, and a scarily revealing one of how things really are in Iraq.
