Segment 1
The final troops have pulled out of Iraq marking the end of a long and costly war. KSL obtained exclusive video from a local film crew of the last convoy moving out of one of the largest military bases in Iraq. Dodge Billingsley and Scott Thornton were the only media embedded with troops as they pulled out from the Al Asad airbase earlier this month. There were more than 20- thousand troops stationed there during the war. Getting the remaining troops out without the enemy knowing required 'stealth' tactics. Dodge and Scott returned from Iraq a few days ago and discussed their experience with Richard Piatt.
