Rick Leventhal, Fox News, has a story on Bravo First LAR here
"Faces of War" and film segment :The Desert Rats, unfiltered, on Fox News Channel later tonight.
"Officially, they're Bravo Company Marines with the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (or 1st L.A.R.)
Their nickname is "Berserkers".
Around the base, though, they're more likely to be called "Desert Rats".
There are REAL desert rats, which have been spotted running across the stone paths between sleeping tents at Forward Operating Base Payne... and then there are these guys, who spend up to 30 days at a time living, sleeping and patrolling the desert sands of Helmand Province in Southern Afghanistan.
"Best job I ever had. Best job I probably ever will have." says Captain Adrian Haskamp, an Iraq combat veteran now serving his first tour here.
