Members of 4th Platoon, Charlie Co., 1-17 Infantry, eat their Thanksgiving meal after taking over a compound for a brand new FOB near the Argandab valley in Kandahar. Most of the troops said the dinner was decent enough - although there was one loud dissent, "the mashed potatoes taste like shit! And that's the best part of the meal!" It was universally agreed, though, that flying and trucking in a hot holiday meal was a very, very good thing.
