As troops draw down, more contractors hired | StarTribune.com: "Just as they were starting to pack to leave in 2007, they learned that they were part of a group of 2,500 Minnesota National Guard troops whose deployments had been extended an additional four months as part of President George W. Bush's 'surge.'

So where did two veterans from Detroit Lakes end up after coming home? Back in Iraq.

Dustin Heard and Dan Wilson, who were in the same unit in Iraq during a 15-month tour with the Guard, are now working as private security contractors at a base near the Baghdad International Airport."
