Analysis: 215 Minnesota National Guard soldiers return to state following service in Iraq
Andrew Beck
This was a rather short article for the type of story that it was covering. This was a rather large group of soldiers that is returning and not much information is given. It doesn't say where in Iraq they were based, how long they were there for, or how long they expect to stay in Minnesota.
Additionally, a quote from either someone in the military or a family member would have been nice to have in the article. Lots of people care about this topic and more personal emotions would be helpful.
It seems like this article was quickly written because it could have included several more pieces of information like if the specific group had one any medals or performed any known missions.
