I actually don't know whether the people I am talking about went to Iraq -- lost track of them a while back. But I know a number of units out of El Paso did go. so most likely yes, esp as these two were career officers. Just pointing out that when I asked about the National Guard, going to Iraq was not remotely on their horizon ;) so it was probably even less something that some poor slob in Raton anticipated when he signed up -- he was probably thinking more along the lines of forest fires.
