Pentagon extends tour of 2,200 Marines in Afghanistan  |
|
 "The Pentagon has extended the tour of 2,200 Marines in Afghanistan, after insisting for months the unit would come home on time.
The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is doing combat operations in the volatile south, will stay an extra 30 days and come home in early November rather than October, Marine Col. David Lapan confirmed Thursday."

| 4. celestemichelle (346) | 1 year ago |  No matter what the military told them, they knew they weren't coming home on time. No one ever does. A month late is pretty much expected. Though you can bet that the military will get them out of there before they earn extra pay because of their extended time.
