The Good, the Bad, and the Not So Pretty
Preparing for Iraq. Republican meadowlands. A Toobinesque Thomas basher. Plus McCain's comeback. Kinsley appreciated. Roush self-defended. And more.

p>As a near-college graduate who has continuously studied military
history and current engagements, and as a girl preparing to
enter
the military, this article was probably the most
moving account I have read yet about the current Iraq conflict. The
determination and professionalism with which these brave men
reacted to each new adversary they faced was absolutely brilliant
and truly telling of the sheer competence of our armed forces. I’m
thankful that your publication took the time, and the pages to tell
the entire story — as the “traditional” media loves skimming over
true undaunted heroism,
only
highlighting the harsh
realities of war. My heart goes out to the fallen soldiers, and
their families, as well as the surviving men. God bless these guys
for doing what so many will not, and God bless you for telling
their amazing story.
