Black Hearts: One Platoon's Descent Into Madness in Iraq's Triangle of DeathThis is the story of a small group of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division's fabled 502nd Infantry Regiment a unit known as "the Black Heart Brigade."

This is the story of a small group of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division's fabled 502nd Infantry Regiment--a unit known as "the Black Heart Brigade." Deployed in late 2005 to Iraq's so-called Triangle of Death, a veritable meat grinder just south of Baghdad, the Black Hearts found themselves in arguably the country's most dangerous location at its most dangerous time. Hit by near-daily mortars, gunfire, and roadside bomb attacks, suffering from a particularly heavy death toll, and enduring a chronic breakdown in leadership, members of one Black Heart platoon--1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 1st Battalion--descended, over their year-long tour of duty, into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse, and brutality. Four 1st Platoon soldiers would perpetrate one of the most heinous war crimes U.S. forces have committed during the Iraq War--the rape of a fourteen-year-old Iraqi girl and the cold-blooded execution of her and her family. Three other 1st Platoon soldiers would be overrun at a remote outpost--one killed immediately and two taken from the scene, their mutilated corpses found days later booby-trapped with explosives. Black Hearts is an unflinching account of the epic, tragic deployment of 1st Platoon. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with Black Heart soldiers and first-hand reporting from the Triangle of Death, Black Hearts is a timeless story about men in combat and the fragility of character in the savage crucible of warfare. But it is also a timely warning of new dangers emerging in the way American soldiers are led on the battlefields of the twenty-first century. From the Hardcover edition.Binding Type: Paperback

Wash first
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
These are excellent and very well made for a 1 and 1/2 lb Chihuahua girl. I don't know how much they would hold up for a bigger dog but they're perfect for a little one. We always wash all of her toys first and I didn't notice that there were garbage bags in there. Which ended up being a good thing because they were scented. Washing help to get most of the scent off and it took the scent off of the toys. She hates the scent. Me too. It was nice to have the doggy bags though and we would prefer them not scented. We didn't dry the toys and we let them air dry which is a good thing cuz it might have ruin the bags. The bags are a little small and short compared to the normal bags that you buy but overall this is a really good value and she loves all of the teethers and ropes very much. Very well made. Nothing has fallen apart and she has chewed it a lot. I don't know how it would be for a bigger dog but for one and a half pound puppy Chihuahua it's perfect

My little Chiwoxy (Chihuahua & wire terrier) loves them all!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
I was a little nervous to order this set of toys, I worried that they would be sort of junky or dollar store quality. They definitely are not!
My little Mia Bella loves this toy set. Her favorite thing to do is for me to stuff them all in the box they came in, so she can rummage through and each of them out one by one to play with. Empty box, starts all over again. There is a nice variety of soft plush squeakers, soft crinkly toys, ropes with rubber shapes on the ends, ropes with knots, and different kind of balls (some rubber, some rope, some soft plastic spikes). My puppy is very small and I was worried they would be too big for her - they are the perfect size and she loves each and every one of them. Also included were some rolls of poo bags and a plastic holder to hook onto your leash to hold them - I was happy these were included, I hadn’t noticed them on the description, so they were a surprise.
I feel like these toys are a great value and provide a small dog with a lot of fun things to play with. The variety is great so you’re not having to spend money on buying a whole bunch of different things. I am very happy with this purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone else with a smaller sized dog. I think they might be too small for a very large dog but who knows, they are likely going to be fun for any dog to play with.

Great selection of dog toys at a good price!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Lots of great toys for your little little dog at a reasonable price. Even comes with doggie poop bags. At any of my local dog shops just one of the ropes would cost me the same as the whole box of toys.
