Author: Nick Maurstad
Bravo Company, the 2-136th Infantry of Minnesota's National Guard, is composed in large part of farm kids from the Midwest who can replace a tank track on the side of the road using nothing but an adjustable wrench, a Zippo lighter, and a short length of two-by-four. They fought alongside the Marine Corp in Anbar province through the deadliest period of Operation Iraqi Freedom. And they earned the nickname "Bristol's Bastards," when Lt. Col. George Bristol adopted Bravo as one of his fighting companies. Spec. Nicholas Maurstad, a member of Bristol's Bastards, 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.
