A message from the front

A lot of garbage has been written about the behavior of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We all know the American fighting soldier is the best in the world, but we also know there are bad apples in every bunch. Thanks to our Green Zone media brigade those few bad apples are increasingly forming the image of how people around the world see the American soldier--basically from an enemy viewpoint.

To get a true picture a reporter must embed, but Bob Woodtuff's unfortunate incident certainly showed how dangerous it can be. For many it's not worth the Pulitzer. That makes the work of Michael Yon all the more impressive. Add Pat Dollard to that list.

So here's a little slice of life on the front courtesy of Mr. Dollard [HT Marie's Two Cents]. (warning--it's explicit).

It's a must-see for all war pundits, whether left or right.
