How many little pictures = a big one?

Blackfive has a link to a CS Monitor story today about Ohio Marines returning from the front in Iraq. It was yet another in a parade of stories coming from soldiers returning from that country, stories that are at odds with the mainstream media and pundits and politicians here at home.

I suppose one could make the argument that each soldier only has the "small picture", a myopic view of their own experiences. I suppose one could say there is some comfort for a soldier to think the time spent there was not in vain, and some good was accomplished. Thing is, when all the positive stories are added up, it paints a compelling picture, despite the nightly roadside bomb report on CNN.

Now, after reading that link, see what lefty America-hating cartoonist Ted Rall thinks about our returning troops. You might want to grab the barf bag first.
