'It's Finished': Last of U.S. Soldiers Leaving Iraq

Camp Victory, once the site of Saddam Hussein's former palace, is a military ghost town now. A base where 70,000 Americans once lived, the base was eerie and barren as the last of the U.S. troops departed Iraq this week with a one-way ticket.

Army Pfc. Joseph Kelley, who was 11 when the war began in 2003, smiled wide as he patrolled Baghdad presumably for the last time today. He wasn't the only one.

    hmm, I don't think this is entirely accurate. You know, the part where it states the last of US troops leaving Iraq.
