BALTIMORE, Md. (WJZ)– The massive battle to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS is raging on. U.S troops are helping local forces to regain control of the city from the grips of the Islamic state and now, nearly 300 Maryland National Guard members are helping in the fight.
The two major resources coming from Maryland are man power and warplanes, uniquely equipped to protect the military from above.
Also on the front lines in the middle east are U.S. service members and 12 A-10 war planes from Maryland, nick-named wart-hogs does this one particular job very well according to Colonel Charles Kohler with the Maryland Air National Guard who also says the A-10s are vital because they’ll be flying low to protect service-members on the ground from attacks.
“It’s incredibly important. In any operation you want to be able to bring all of the tools to the fight and this is one of those tools that you need to use,” said Kohler.

How many times is it necessary to retake Mosul anyway?
Ask obama.
At least now they know we are coming and from where
One can only hope Jake day gets called up
Pull out now. Just a wast of time and life.
Prayers for all to come home safe without harm. The world police is en-route and can't or won't take care of our own.
Wish we could take care of ourselves and let others do the same. If they come here asking for a fight, exterminate them and pitch them back off shore.
We need to leave the middle east to implode on its own. We have enough oil here to make up for leaving.my only concern would be Israel but I'm tired of us spending money on Iraq and Afghanistan. .
We shouldn't have been there in the first place.
The picture looks like a Russian T72 with a Rainbow flag on it! Just an observation, I could be wrong.
To. 2:43 ---- have you ever served anywhere beyond your toilet?
Mosul is important to our safety.
If Mosul is not taken this time and held, then just imagine what will happen to us here!
If my family must sacrifice one of our children in order to retake Mosul, then so be it. At least they will die for our freedoms.
Remember, freedom isn't free.
Are you going to sacrifice your child for the freedom of an Iraqi person?
What is the price for this much loved freedom?
Can we call it something else, since it isn't free?
