I think this is the best war correspondent coverage published to date from the sandbox. Great reporting on so many levels. Ernie Pyle would be proud. |

This soldier cleans every single round prior to a patrol! http://www.michaelyon-online.com/images/stories/precisionvot/2009-08-19-at-06-59-31acc-730.jpg And guess what happens during the firefight the next day. ![]() It gets dirty with the blood and intestines of the enemy

Interesting read. At the risk of making some angry I will say the read made me think that these guys aren't up to the same level as our troops, but they are doing their level best, better than I could do now. Just my take on it. |

Awesome read. Fantastic job done by US and the only damn good friends we have in the world - the UK.
After reading this, I beg the question: Why in the fuck are we still there? This sandy shit hole in the middle of nowhere filled with people that dont give 2 damns for us, democracy or anything else we represent. If they wanted our form of government, they would have come up with it in the 2,000 years they existed before the US of A and kept it when they had it. We should pack all of our crap up like the Soviets did, who by the way were next door and had a hell of a lot better reason to be there, and get our people home. |
