Now, who said war is “good for absolutely nothin’?”

A Washington state soldier has married the Iraqi woman he met and fell in love with while in Baghdad.

Robert Hall, 23, says he knew within a month that he would marry Vivian Mansour, 21, of Baghdad, even though at first neither spoke a word of each other’s language.

Hall, an Army reservist who earned a Bronze Star for meritorious service during his one-year tour, said he’s never been happier. The two were married here Saturday.

Talk about winning hearts and minds…!
