Bristol's Bastards: In Iraq with the 2nd Battalion, 136th Infantry of Minnesota's National Guard
Bravo Company, the 2-136th Infantry of Minnesota’s National Guard, is composed mostly of Midwestern farm kids who can replace a tank track on the side of the road using nothing but an adjustable wrench, a Zippo lighter, and a two-by-four. They earned the nickname “Bristol’s Bastards” when Lt. Col. George Bristol adopted Bravo as one of his fighting companies.   Spec. Nicholas Maurstad brings to life the experience of fighting in Iraq with the fierce warriors of Bravo Company, kicking down doors, dodging IEDs, battling insurgents in the streets of Fallujah, and helping one another survive in the deadliest place on earth.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
