The Associated Press reports that two Americans were killed while they were training Iraqi soldiers near Mosul;
A U.S. military official said the shooter was immediately killed by American soldiers who were running the morning drill at a training center on a U.S. base in the northern city of Mosul. The U.S. official said the exercise was not meant to involve live ammunition, and an Iraqi army officer said the shooting appeared to have been planned.
Sounds like folks are acting like the war is over in Iraq and letting down their guard. Welcome to Operation New Dawn.

I just saw this in the American Legion Facebook page.
My condolences to the families of these men.
Looks like there’s a report of a third soldier being killed.
Prayers to them and their families.
The third killed was the shooter
