The Sons of Iraq Part 1

"[This is going to be a series that I will write in a few parts as it covers several months worth of experiences and interactions. Save your final judgments for the ending]

An organization that was a fairly new concept in Baqubah when my unit arrived in August. At the time we called them CLN, standing for Concerned Local Nationals; that of course evolved into a more politically correct name of CLC, Concerned Local Citizens. Now they've been renamed, and they're making headline news from Iraq, the Sons of Iraq are filling the gap that the US Military and Iraqi Military can't provide, and that is the 24/7 surveillance of hot spot areas."
